Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup image

Probably the most widely used condensed soup for casseroles and even just for a bowl of soup, is Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup. Using only a whisk and a microwave, you can make your own version of this soup. Easy to customize to your needs and tastes. Three reasons I make this. 1. The closest place I can get this soup canned is 50 km away, and it is an import, which means $$$, I make this for less than $1 per can). 2. Have you ever read the ingredients on a can of this stuff? It is mostly oil and water. 3 Is there even 1 mushroom in a can?

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon(s) onion powder
2 tablespoon(s) corn starch
1 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon(s) white pepper powder
1 pinch(es) sugar, optional
1 can(s) evaporated milk
1 - handful fresh mushrooms, chopped

Steps:

  • Chop your mushrooms, mushrooms of choice for me is Shimeji (Buno-shimeji), but you can use any mushrooms you like. I chopped about 1/3 of a 150 gram package.
  • Put everything except mushrooms in a microwave safe bowl, Pyrex or ceramic would be perfect, not a plastic bowl, and whisk together, then mix in the mushrooms.
  • Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes, whisking well after 2 minutes and again at the end of cooking time. If not thick enough, add 30 seconds and whisk again. If needed, continue for 30 seconds at a time and whisking after each 30 seconds.
  • Equal to one can of condensed soup. Use in recipes calling for condensed cream of mushroom soup. Enjoy.
