Specialty Soup Substitutes - Cream Recipe #278160

I was tired of paying over a dollar for Campbell's soups when a friend gave me this recipe. It doesn't take much extra work, and it's so much healthier! It's been months since I bought a can of cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cream of celery, cheddar cheese, or tomato soup... helping my budget and my health at the same time. :)

BASE RECIPE

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper (optional)

CREAM OF CHICKEN

1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning or sage
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth (I use homemade)
1/2 cup milk

CREAM OF CELERY

1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 cup milk

CREAM OF MUSHROOM

1/4 cup chopped mushroom
1 tablespoon onion
1 cup milk

TOMATO SOUP

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 cup tomato juice

CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUP

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and saute veggies (if using).
Whisk in flour, salt, and spices (if using).
Let cook 1 minute, stirring often; slowly add liquid(s). Whisk continually until bubbly and thick. (If making cheese soup, stir in cheese here).
