Need a substitute for cream of mushroom soup?

Question

I for got to put it on the grocery list and I have no way to the store. Please help.

I need it for a beef recipe, will cream of chicken still be a good idea?

and the recipe already calls for some sour cream

Answer 1

You cream of chicken soup will be excellent as a substitute. As for the sour cream, we sometimes simply omit it from recipes and add a touch (1/4 milk) and a touch (1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Cream of chicken will work great, I use it in a recipe along with cream of mushroom. Cream of celery also works for those types of recipes

Answer 3

Cream of celery or cream of chicken will work anywhere cream of mushroom will. Or mix chicken broth and sour cream to the same consistency.

Answer 4

You can always use another soup, like cream of chicken or something. You can also mix corn starch, mushroom, and milk. It's almost the same thing.

Answer 5

what about cream of brocolli or asparagus....those are really good...chicken and beef I am not sure how they will go....

You could also probably use a little bit of whole milk or sour cream...just some ideas...

good luck!

Answer 6

Have you considered Milk? If you're cautious of the fat content, skim milk or low fat works just as well. Remember now that what you need is a sort of thickening agent. Try not to use igredients like egg or corn starch solution as it might affect the outcome or even alter the taste of the finish product.

Answer 7

Do you have any other cream soups? If so, use one of those instead.

Do you have any sour cream? That would probably work.

Answer 8

Any cream soup should do it, or use cream or sour cream.

Answer 9

any other cream soup will work, or use sour cream if you have it.
