If you are nervous about buying the sodium riddled canned varieties or if you just find yourself out of what you need, just try this...maybe you'll never go back! Another recipe that's intended as a starting point and guide.

Fans
- 2T butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup stock(low sodium broth can probably be used)--veggie or chicken is usually best, I think
- 1/2 cup milk(lowfat is okay)
- salt and pepper
- ***1/4 cup of whatever your "of" is needed to be...(ie mushroom, celery, chicken, onion, potato, broccoli, cauliflower, etc) finely chopped***
Directions
- In small saucepan, put butter and the "of" ingredient and cook until soft, not just tender.(if using chicken, just make sure it's cooked through)
- Add flour and stir together. It will be thick and gooey, and that's okay.
- Slowly add stock while stirring or whisking to avoid lumps.
- Bring to a boil and cook a few minutes until thickened.(if seems too thick, you can add a tsp or so more broth, just don't forget, you've still got milk to add :)
- Add milk and salt and pepper and stir until combined and thick. Taste to know your seasonings prior to using it in a recipe so you can adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- ***the main photo is cream of celery using veggie stock, and the other is mushroom using chicken stock. Please remember, you can combine ingredients to make blend, or add garlic, etc, to make a cream of mushroom with garlic, etc. Just play around and make it to suit your needs and taste!**
- PS Please note, this is a CONDENSED version of the soup...it's meant to be thick and not intended to eat straight! ;)

O.K., saved the soup recipe, keni. What do you do when you want to make it into a regular soup, if you even do? Add more milk or broth? Can't wait to try it. I have to watch my salt intake and buy low-sodium when I can get it.

Thanks I made this. Added 3 chopped mushrooms and a little less than half a stick of butter (didnt feel like measuring). This made the eqivalent of one can of the condensed soup.

I have tried other recipes for condensed cream of whatever soup and they have not been good. this one was awesome. i used onion for the whatever. i used it in a casserole recipe from AR and it worked perfectly. thanks so much keni

This was amazingly easy to make! To save time, I made it the day before and refrigerated it until needed. I got a little heavy handed with the chicken soup base I used to make the broth, so mine did not look as pretty as Keni's photo, but that was OK since I was using it in a chicken casserole. Next time (and I will make it again), I will go easy on the soup base so the mushroom flavor comes through more. It was a little thick right out of the refrigerator and I had to thin it with a bit with milk, but it had a wonderful flavor that even my husband commented on. Who knew making your own cream of soup was this easy?!

What can I say.....this is excellent....made Cream O' mushroom and used it in Salisbury Steak Deluxe by JustJakesMom.....very easy, and quick....looks and smells even better than the canned....you know whats in this and that I love...will be making again and again with all the different flavors...thanks Keni! ps...I did like Bestcooker and made the day before and refrigerated until needed, it was perfect.

Do you think this would freeze well? I was thinking of making a large batch and freezing it so it would be readily available.
keni 1 year, 1 month ago said:
Hey Wilma! I don't think it would freeze well, no...it's just too much cream and too thick. :( It doesn't last but a few days in the fridge, so, I just make it as I need it...sorry if that deters from the recipe for you, but hope you give it a try, at least once, lemme know what you think! :)

Okay, you've won me over from the dark side. I was just lazy before. In my defense, I have done this when making certain dishes. ;') Good one, Keni!

Hi Keni... Thanks for sharing this recipe.. As much as I hate to admit it (usually try to make everything from scratch) I use canned soups a lot in my hunter type recipes.. I was never really sure whether to make a white sauce and add stock or visa versa.... Thanks for clearing that up... Jim

Keni,
Would I add more milk to thin it out to have as just a regular 'Cream of" soup?
Thanks,
Nina
