"For anyone who's not a fan of the canned condensed soup, this one works great as a soup starter or in casserole type recipes that calls for a can of condensed cream soup as a base. This has the same consistancy as the canned condensed chicken soup but without artificial flavors and preservatives and to be honest I think I like the taste even better. If you are replacing a cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup in a recipe, you will want to omit the bouillon granules and add cooked mushrooms, celery, or celery salt to the recipe. Most cans of “cream of” soup are 10 1/2 ounces which is equivalent to about 1 1/3 cups. This recipe makes 2 2/3 cups which is equivalent to 2 cans of condensed cream soup."
