condensed cream of mushroom soup
Probably the most widely used condensed soup for casseroles and even just for a bowl of soup, is Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup. Using only a whisk and a microwave, you can make your own version of this soup. Easy to customize to your needs and tastes. Three reasons I make this. 1. The closest place I can get this soup canned is 50 km away, and it is an import, which means $$$, I make this for less than $1 per can). 2. Have you ever read the ingredients on a can of this stuff? It is mostly oil and water. 3 Is there even 1 mushroom in a can?
