Cream of mushroom soup
Rich and creamy with a mild, earthy mushroom flavor, thick enough to use as a sauce base.
Lens analyzedCream of mushroom soup is a thick, creamy canned soup made from mushrooms, cream or milk, and a roux-style thickener. It's eaten on its own but is more often used as a cooking ingredient, stirred into casseroles and sauces for body and flavor.
Where it comes from
Condensed cream soups became a defining North American pantry product in the mid-20th century, marketed as both a quick soup and a versatile cooking shortcut, with cream of mushroom becoming one of the most common casserole ingredients in home cooking.
Buying it
Check whether the can is condensed, meaning it needs water or milk added, since condensed and ready-to-eat versions aren't interchangeable without adjusting the liquid in a recipe.
Storing it
Store unopened cans in the pantry for a long shelf life; refrigerate after opening and use within a few days.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
