Almost Cream of Mushroom Soup
I like Cream of Mushroom soup. I used to love the one in the Campbell’s can, but of course there is a LOT of sodium in those. I didn’t think it would be too hard to make my own, but since I don’t LOVE it, I’ve never really looked for recipes to make it. Since Mike hates mushrooms, I also tend to avoid making recipes with them.
However, I will sometimes make dishes that use mushrooms, whenever Mike is out of town, or if mushrooms are on sale at the grocery store.
I wanted to try to make my own cream of mushroom soup at home, using fresh ingredients. This one has a lot less sodium than the one from the can and tastes much better!
