Cream of mushroom soup is an ingredient staple this time of year. From my favorite green bean casserole<\/a> with cream of mushroom soup to smothered pork chops and even baked chicken. This mushroom soup is so good though, you\u2019ll just want a warm bowl by itself.<\/p>\n

How to Make Cream of Mushroom Soup<\/h2>\n

Unlike some soups and stews, this isn\u2019t a chop and throw everything in the pot and leave it situation. While I love the dump and go soup recipes, this soup starts with sauteing the veggies. Next you\u2019ll thicken it up with some arrowroot powder to make a roux, then add all the creamy ingredients.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still super easy though and comes together in just minutes. I love smelling the mushrooms, garlic, and onion as they cook down together. Finish it off with some chicken broth for healthy collagen, minerals, and even more flavor.<\/p>\n

Cream of Mushroom Soup Ingredients<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve already mentioned a few of the ingredients above, but cream of mushroom soup is a surprising nutritional powerhouse. Chicken broth is one of my favorite superfoods because it\u2019s nutrient dense and simple to make. You can even make it ahead of time and freeze for later.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have healthy bone broth on hand? This brand<\/a> is a favorite of mine and just as good as homemade broth.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering: Is cream of mushroom soup gluten free? This mushroom soup is since we\u2019re using arrowroot powder to thicken. Other recipes often use wheat flour or even cornstarch. And of course, the conventional mushroom soup on store shelves has gluten, dairy, and other thickeners and fillers. While our family is no longer dairy free, the dairy in this soup is optional.<\/p>\n

Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup<\/h2>\n

We love this soup as a side dish to hamburgers, chicken, and more. If you need condensed cream of mushroom soup though for recipes, there\u2019s an easy way to do it. You\u2019ll just reduce the amount of chicken broth to two cups while cooking (details in the recipe below).<\/p>\n

Where to Buy Healthy Creamy Mushroom Soup<\/h3>\n

Thankfully, more brands are putting healthier items onto store shelves for those of us with busy lives. If you don\u2019t have time to make your own soup or want some on hand for busy days, you\u2019ve got options! This Mushroom Bisque from Kettle and Fire tastes amazing and is made with real food ingredients.<\/p>\n

A Better Cream of Mushroom Soup (& It\u2019s Easy!)<\/h2>\n

Like most foods, homemade not only tastes better, but it\u2019s typically healthier too. Cream of mushroom soup is no exception! This simple DIY version works as a substitute in recipes or is delicious on its own.<\/p>\n

I typically make several batches of this and keep them in the refrigerator. I also freeze it for easy meal prep at Thanksgiving. If you use cream of mushroom (or cream of anything) soup in recipes for your family, consider taking 20 extra minutes to make your own. I promise you will be hooked!<\/p>\n
