Cream of Mushroom Soup is easy to make and a lot healthier than canned pre-made soup! No extra preservatives, just good seasonings!

Mushroom Soup

There are a lot of recipes that call for cream of mushroom. It’s a great creamy base that binds all the goodies in a casserole perfectly, so keep this Homemade Mushroom Soup handy!

There is going to be a time when you start to put a casserole dish together, and just when you are about finished combining the ingredients, you’ll go to your pantry for a can of condensed soup, and realize that you forgot to replenish your stock!

Unless you have a very new driver in the house, no one will want to go to the grocery store for that one item. Trust me!

Healthy Mushroom Soup

My food pantry is tight, so shelf real estate is prime, making it necessary to quit replacing pre-made soups. As long as I have milk and a few stocked spices, I make my own!

I get that we are used to the convenience of opening a can of ready made soup. It’s easy.

Although, this homemade version is also super simple too! Even if you have plenty of food storage space, homemade everything always tastes better!

It’s much healthier too because A, it’s super fresh!

And B, we don’t add any unnecessary ingredients to the meal like monosodium glutamate, dextrose or corn syrup, which are additives some manufacturers include in their soups.

Soup Cooking Star

Plus, having this useful culinary knowledge in your cooking repertoire boosts you to a whole new foodie level.  Am I right?!!

More importantly, you’re going to feel like a cooking star when your milk quickly turns into a thick soup!

Bask in that thought for a moment 🙂

Can This Soup Be Adapted For Keto and Low Carb Diets?
