    Cream of Mushroom substitute
    Does anyone know of a good, reliable substitute for Cream of Mushroom soup. Lots of recipies--especially cassaroles--call for it. DH and I don't like mushrooms, but I'd like to try some of the recipies.

    RE: Cream of Mushroom substitute
    Depending on the recipe, you could try another "cream" soup...cream of chicken and cream of celery are very good sub's that I have used if I don't have mushroom. Cream of aspapragus, cream of broccoli, cream of shrimp...all very good!!!
    Hope this helps!! :)

    I interchange cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cream of celery all the time.

    Here is a recipe for 'make your own' cream of 'something' soup.

    CREAM SOUP BASE FOR CASSEROLES(fat-free)

    2 cups non-fat dry milk powder
    3/4 cup cornstarch
    1/4 cup instant low salt chicken granules or beef granules
    2 T dry onion flakes
    1 tsp basil
    1/2 tsp thyme
    1/2 tsp pepper

    combine all ingredients: store in airtight container.
    To use: mix 1/3 cup dry mixture with 1-1/4 cups cold water.
    This equals 1 can of creamed soup.
    Use in casseroles.

    RE: Cream of Mushroom substitute
    I just logged on to give you a recipe for a substitute for Cream of Mushroom and Archi66 beat me to it.

    I keep this dry mixture on hand all the time and always use it in recipes that call for cream of mushroom. It is great.

    I sometimes brown porkchops and put this mixture on top and simmer until the chops are done. Very goo.

    I also hate mushrooms and mushroom soup in anything is the worst. When a recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup my brain automatically turns the word mushroom into celery--HONEST!
