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 😉

RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.
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.
I used this “anything..” recipe for my Christmas dressing last year and now I am hooked!! I didn’t even prepare any the year before because I couldn’t find the plant based alternatives.I have not been able to find any plant based condensed soups in my area. This is The best and healthiest alternative to all that sodium and preservatives from the traditional canned condensed soups. My Family thanks you 😄Blessings to You!!!
Brilliant!
This is fantastic! The flavor is great, and it is easy to make! I need to find chicken bouillon that has less sodium, but other than that yum, yum!
Thank you for this low sodium and gluten free cream of anything soup! My husband has celiac and heart issues so this recipe will be great for our family!
