Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
Description
The recipe starts by sautéing mushrooms, grated onion, and minced garlic in butter and olive oil until softened, which brings out their earthy and aromatic qualities. Flour is then stirred in to create a roux that thickens the soup. Chicken stock and cream or half and half are gradually whisked in and cooked on simmer until the mixture thickens to the consistency of condensed soup.
The resulting soup is creamy and richly flavored with mushroom and subtle white pepper seasoning. It can be used as a direct substitute for canned condensed cream of mushroom soup in recipes like green bean casserole or sauces, providing a fresher taste and control over ingredients.
The recipe yields about one and a half cups, equivalent to a standard 15-ounce can. Cooling and refrigerating in an airtight container allows the soup to be stored and used later when needed.
Doubling the recipe is straightforward for larger quantities. Adjust seasoning to taste and use your preferred type of milk or cream depending on desired richness.
