Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
This Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup features white button mushrooms cooked in butter, combined with chicken broth and seasoned milk thickened with flour. The result is a creamy, savory soup base with mushroom flavor and smooth texture, suitable as a condensed mix or diluted into soup servings.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms sliced (see note 1)
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (see note 2)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter until foaming. Add mushrooms and cook until they have released most of their liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, onion powder, and garlic powder and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour.
- Stir in milk mixture and cook until soup has thickened, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- For un-condensed soup: Add 2 cups water to make 2 servings of soup, 2 cups each (stir over medium heat until heated through).
Notes
- White button mushrooms provide a mild, accessible mushroom flavor; substitute other mushrooms if desired.
- Homemade chicken broth offers best flavor; store-bought or broth paste are acceptable alternatives.
- This recipe yields about 2 cups of condensed soup, replacing a standard canned can.
- Add 2 cups water to condensed soup to make two 2-cup servings of ready-to-eat soup, heated before serving.
- Store leftover soup covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
