Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

We love casseroles and dishes that typically call for cream of mushroom soup. I have been making homemade cream of chicken soup and Homemade Cream of Celery Soup Recipe for awhile now and honestly don’t know why I waited so long to make cream of mushroom soup. You are going to love it too.

Everyone was very impressed with how delicious it turned out and I was so pleased with how easy it was to make. I don’t think I will ever buy store bought again.

Why This Recipe Works

The next time you are making something calls for condensed soup, make it from scratch instead. It is very simple!

This is also so handy if you are in the middle of cooking and realize you don’t have what you need. Instead of running to the store, save time and money and make cream of mushroom soup at home.

How to Make Cream of Mushroom Soup

• Step 1 – Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan.
• Step 2 – Add the flour. I like to use a whisk to mix it all together. This also helps to get out any clumps.
• Step 3 – Pour the chicken stock and milk into the mixture. Now, whisk all of  that until smooth.

• Step 4 – You don’t need many seasonings. Just salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Now, it is time to add them and stir everything together.

• Step 5 – Bring everything to a simmer and keep cooking until your sauce starts to thicken. This does not take long so DON’T walk away and do something else.
• Step 6 – Lastly, add the mushrooms and stir to combine. Remove the cream of mushroom sauce from the heat and let it completely cool.

Expert Tips

• Combining Ingredients – Combine the ingredients over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add in seasoning to taste. You may need to add more depending how you like it to taste.
• Cooking Soup – Simmer the soup until it thickens but stay close by as it does not take like to thicken and you do not want it to burn.
