looking for a homemade cream of mushroom/cream of chicken soup recipe

[yellowrose28]

I have seen a few recipes for homemade cream of mushroom/chicken soup. I am specifically looking for one that is "condensed"! I want one that will hold up in recipes that call for a can of campbells condensed soup.....anyone have one?

I make a roux. I'll saute some mushrooms or celery, add the fat and flour necessary and add stock and milk. That subs in for the canned stuff if that's your goal. If you don't have quick access to stock, you can just use milk.

Pretty much the same for me too. We don't like mushrooms, but you can sauté celery or onion first. I use 1/2 butter, 1/2 oil (canola or EVOO) then add flour and let it cook for a few minutes. I use chicken broth (homemade or a really great quality kind) for pork or chicken, beef broth for steaks, then add a little milk or water f it's no enough. Sometimes I add too much liquid and have to add a bit of cornstarch (mixes with water or milk) to thicken it up.
