Substitutions

[merideth3]

When a receipe calls for cream of mushroom soup what can I substitute for it?

[Gio]

Make a simple white sauce: butter/flour/broth/milk, Simmer a bit to thicken then add chopped mushrooms and stir to cook through and thicken further. Salt & Pepper to taste. This is for condensed soup. Just add broth to thin it out for 'regular' cream of mushroom soup.

Yes....I'm wondering if even the cream/dairy could be omitted, depending on the recipe? Dying to know what's cooking!

[Gio]

Oh sure, the dairy certainly could be omitted. For the CofMS, however the cream or milk would be a nice addition.

[pinehurst]

What's the recipe? Lots of options but it'd help if we knew whatcha cookin. ;-)

You could saute mushrooms in butter, then add some flour, cook it a bit to lose the raw taste, then add cream. That's what I do for making my version of the green beans and mushroom soup cassarole. If you are not a scratch cook and/or don't like mushrooms and are just looking to sub something else canned, then either cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup might work,
