Thank you for posting this, Charlotte J! This worked just perfectly in my recipe - I'll be using this all the time! As a family of 5, we are always looking for ways to cut our grocery budget - this will be much more cost effective than paying $1.25 or so for the Healthy request creamed soups! Prepared and reviewed for Australian/New Zealand Recipe Swap March 2008.

    I scaled the recipe down to1 can and it worked like a charm! Adding liquid from canned mushrooms and water to equal about ¾ cup, I used it in place of cream of mushroom soup in Pepsi Pork Roast . Thanks for posting this! It is a handy recipe to have on hand.

    What a great recipe find! I like the light flavor of the generic soup, which allows you to flavor it to match the recipe you need it in. I sauted chopped mushrooms and added to the mix for a great cream of mushroom base. I then used it as a cover for baked pork chops - good stuff!!

    What a great resource! This gives us far more versatility in the kitchen than having to shop for or stock each indifidual soup variation. Shelf-stable make-your-own stuff is a lifeline for budget-conscious cooks. Thanks!
