❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
There are so many recipes that call for condensed creamed soups. Today, a lot of people don’t like these recipes because of all the additives in the creamed soups we buy in the supermarket. It is so easy to make your own with just a few ingredients at home. It is super versatile too. You can make more or less of this recipe to suit your needs. It keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. You can freeze it in individual packets to add to future recipes. It is easy, better and healthier for you and your family.
SWAPS
Recipes are so versatile, especially this one. It is a good base recipe. The recipe in the recipe card below is for mushroom soup, but you can make any condensed soup simply by switching out that one ingredient. You can make cream of chicken, cream of celery, cream of asparagus or whatever soup you need by just substituting one of these ingredients for the mushrooms in this recipe. You can also add other spices if you want. It is always fun to experiment with this kind of recipe and make it to your own taste.

So wonderful to use fresh ingredients with no chemicals. Guests were praising the taste.
YAY! Glad this was a hit!
Works great every time. Thanks ladies.
You are very welcome!
After making the condensed soup, can it be used in the crockpot? Cooking for 8-9 hours?
I would think so.
This recipe was a lifesaver for me! I substituted gluten-free flour for regular flour due to my grandson having a gluten allergy. It worked great!!! This TN Hunny (that’s my grandma name LOL) LOVES your recipes!
So glad this worked so well!
Hi! How would I go about freezing this recipe in individual packets like the recipe bio states? I use condensed soups a ton, and have been thinking about making them myself. This recipe will be amazing
Hey! I would freeze them in airtight containers or heavy duty freezer bags.
Can a creamed condensed soup be “canned?” Put in hot jars and processed in a pressure canner?
I have no idea, Shelley, and have not tried canning condensed soup. Maybe, someone else will see this comment and reply. Sorry.
Hi! I’m looking for a recipe to make cream of celery and cream of onion mixes. Thank you
Wonder how it would work with cornstarch, can’t have flour now.
That may work ok, Dee, but I have not tried it.
Mix the cornstarch in with the broth the add them to the recipe! Works great. I can’t have four either.
Thank you so much for this recipe! This would also make a quick hot soup for lunch by simply adding another cup of milk to the recipe. Chop up broccoli with the mushrooms and serve topped with grated cheese! This is a wonderful little recipe full of so many possibilites! Your recipes are such an inspiration for me.
Thank you Sondra for such a kind comment. I am so pleased you are enjoying the recipes. Have a wonderful week!
can use freeze this in zip locks?
I have not tried freezing it Judy, but I think it should work. Maybe, try one and see. If you do, let me know how it works. Thank you.
Good to know! Thanks Judy.
Oh YAY!!!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe because you cannot buy these types of soup here in Ukraine.
Excellent!
