Condensed “Cream of Anything” Soup is the homemade replacement for any Condensed Cream of Soup recipes. This recipe makes the equivalent of one (10.75 oz) can.
Get excited people, because this recipe is awesome! The next time you come across a recipe that calls for condensed cream of _________ (fill in the blank), and you don’t have some on hand, make this super EASY homemade version! It works for any type of cream of soups including cream of chicken, cream of broccoli, and cream of mushroom, and the best part is that you probably already have all of these ingredients.
You can make small adjustments to cater to each specific soup, but the base recipe makes an awesome substitution for any of them! The homemade version, not surprisingly tastes way better than the canned stuff too. Because that’s what happens when you cook from scratch 😉

Thank you so much for this recipe. I never buy condensed soups because even though I know they make some recipes much simpler they’re full of sodium and just not good for you. This is the simplest and tastiest alternative I’ve seen by far! I will absolutely be using this again and again.
