Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

There are so many ways that you can make convenience foods from scratch. I make a variety of my condiments when I have time including salad dressing and mustard. I love to can so I make pickles and jam when I have extra garden produce.

There are a lot of homemade soup recipes you can make for your family. I really recommend you invest in a good cookbook to make the process easier. I found this recipe for homemade cream of mushroom soup in The Soupbox Cookbook. But, this is a really easy mushroom soup recipe to start wtih.

As a note, I did not have any shallots and couldn’t find them in my local grocery store so I left them out.  I’m sure you could substitute onions in yours if you wanted to but it was very flavorful the way I made it. You can vary the cream of mushroom soup ingredients to use up what you have on hand.

Have you ever tried making your own homemade cream of mushroom soup? Or have you made another type of cream soup?

  7. I've never made cream of mushroom, but I do have a nice cream of broccoli recipe. Homemade is always better, especially since the store bought cream of soups tend to be filled with chemicals.

  10. I am not a big fan of the mushroom but hubby is - I'm sure he would love this. One time our grocery store manager made an error and ordered too many mushrooms and so was selling them very cheaply. I bought many, many packages and dehydrated them in my dryer and they kept for ages. I'll bet they would be excellent for making soup.
