Can you give me a substitute for Cream of Celery? or cream of anything soup...?

Question

i dont have any cream of celery, mushroom, or anything like that, but i'm trying to make broccoli casserole, and every recipe i see has that stuff in it. so do you know a substitute for cream of celery, like milk or something? thanks :)

Answer 1

On low heat..melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan, stir in a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to make a paste,...whisk in milk until you have a creamy sauce....for celery or mushroom sauce, start by sauteing the vegetables in the butter....or if you have no vegetables....you can try adding celery or onion salt....or tarragon is nice...or parmesan cheese if you like a cheesy sauce or a little sherry if you have it. hmmmmn...now I'm hungry for broccoli.

Answer 2

If you don't have cream of celery, mushroom or chicken soups, you can make your own white sauce, or as some people call it white gravy.

To make white sauce, you need to melt about 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a saucepan. If you have a jar with lid, pour 2 cups milk into it and add salt and pepper to taste and 4 tablespoons of flour. Put the lid on the jar and shake that jar until the milk and flour are thoroughly mixed and smooth. Pour that out into a saucepan with the melted shortening and set a medium fire under it. Stand there at the stove and slowly stir the sauce until it begins to boil--at which time, it will begin to thicken.

If you want to give this sauce some flavor, you can add chicken or beef flavoring by way of stock or those flavor bouillon cubes. You can also add caramelized onions and garlic for a richer flavor. Throw some parsley flakes in there as well.

Just make a basic white sauce.(Bechamel) and add flavouring if you want. e.g. celery powder , chopped mushrooms or grated cheese, etc.
_SAUCE I take a couple of tablespoons of butter or margarine, melt in a saucepan with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons white flour. Mix and heat until bubbly without burning, add about a cup of milk all at once. Keep stirring on medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and use in your recipe.

Answer 8

i guess you could mix the same amount of milk with 2 tbsp. of all-purpose flour then season it with salt and pepper and it might do.
personally, i wouldn't make it without the proper ingredients, especially the canned soup it calls for. especially broccoli casserole. most of the recipes i use call for at least cream of mushroom soup!
you might visit allrecipes.com to see if there is a recipe you can use that doesn't call for a soup!

Answer 9

Sour cream or plain yogurt can work well. You can add some dried onions of spices to it to jazz it up a bit.
