Homemade Condensed Soup Recipe

A common recipe ingredient is a can of “cream of mushroom” (or chicken, celery, etc.) soup. These condensed soups evolved over the years as an easy way to substitute for a thick white sauce. Condensed soups have an ingredient list full of items you can’t pronounce, so if you prefer whole-food ingredients, give this recipe a try. It makes the equivalent of one can of condensed soup, but it can easily be doubled or tripled based on how many cans the recipe calls for. You’ll feel an immense sense of pride and know-how when using real ingredients.

2 tablespoons minced onion, mushrooms, or celery*
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon instant chicken base or equivalent of bouillon, optional
