Cream of Mushroom Soup

Cream of Mushroom Soup
Our Cream of Mushroom Soup has a delicate and earthy flavor that is delicious on its own or used in your favorite recipes.
Growing up, soup usually consisted of popping open a can of Campbell’s Condensed Soups. I thought I was getting fancy if it wasn’t pressed into a gelatinous mass in a tiny can. Not to knock canned soups, because I still use them on occasion, but as I grew older and learned to cook, I quickly discovered how simple and healthy making homemade soups from scratch could be. I love this recipe for its delicate flavor. Serve with an eight course dinner or with salad and bread for a tasty lunch or dinner. It can also be stored in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to three months and utilized in recipes like Chicken & Rice or Salisbury Steak.
