Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
Description
This recipe creates a condensed cream of mushroom soup from scratch by combining evaporated milk, chicken broth, onion powder, cornstarch, olive oil, black pepper, and mushrooms in a blender to form a smooth or chunky base depending on pulsing. The mixture is then cooked on the stove until it thickens and boils briefly, resulting in a creamy, flavorful soup with mushroom pieces distributed throughout.
The texture can be adjusted by pulsing mushrooms fewer times for chunks or longer for a more pureed consistency. Using evaporated milk contributes to a rich creaminess that regular milk can approximate but with less richness. The natural mushroom flavor is enhanced by the seasoning, producing a savory base useful in a variety of recipes.
The finished soup is cooled and can be stored refrigerated for up to a week. It functions as a substitute for canned condensed mushroom soup in casseroles, sauces, or other cooked dishes requiring that component.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce each) can evaporated milk you can use regular milk in a pinch, it just won't be quite as creamy
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms
Instructions
- In a blender, combine evaporated milk, chicken broth, onion powder, cornstarch, olive oil, and black pepper.
- Pulse two to three times to combine.
- Add in the mushrooms to the blender and pulse a few more times until the mushrooms reach the desired size.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk the mushroom mixture over medium-high until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and cool.
Notes
- Pulse mushroom amount and duration to control chunk size or puree level in the soup.
- The soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Evaporated milk is preferred for creaminess; regular milk can be used but results will be less rich.
