Are you looking for a homemade substitute cream of mushroom soup?  We have you covered with our flavorful alternative to add to all your favorite recipes that call for canned cream of mushroom soup.Homemade Substitute Cream of Mushroom Soup for recipes.

Cris here. As I mentioned in our basic Cream Soup Substitute for Recipes post, we sometimes get requests from readers who aren’t a fan of the can to offer alternatives to canned cream soup as an ingredient. Personally, I often enjoy the convenience of the can but sometimes I like to kick the flavor up a notch by making it from scratch. In our Cream Soup Substitute for Recipes post you will find adaptations for all kinds of cream soups: Cream of Chicken, Cream of Celery and even Cream of Shrimp (a key ingredient in our Crab Rangoon Dip). We also mention this homemade substitute cream of mushroom soup.

Homemade Substitute Cream of Mushroom Notes

  • I use baby bella mushrooms when making this soup. I love the flavor they bring to the table. You can also use white button mushrooms.
  • I like to use garlic when making this recipe but it is not required.
  • Using a small saucepan (instead of a large one) will be very helpful when whipping this up.

      We haven’t tried using cream in this recipe. Without testing it ourselves first, I can’t say for sure if it will work or not.

    Outstanding! My husband has a tree nut and legume allergy and he has a reaction when eating the store bought cream based ones. (we think it may be soy? used more in these soups.)
    Your recipe worked beautifully and is an excellent substitute. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this recipe. I have a lactose free kid so I adapt recipes but have to make them from scratch using lactose free milk. I use cream of mushroom in so many recipes. So this is perfect, thx again.

    This is ridiculously good! I added the garlic and a pinch of herb ox no sodium beef powder and even used skim milk to keep it low fat and low sodium. No need to ever used canned soup again

    Have you tried making up a big batch and canning it? I’m guessing a pressure cooker rather than a water bath?

    Sounds good, except I don’t care for mushrooms. How about doing the same thing with chicken and celery? Many of us would appreciate it. Enjoy your recipes, Thanks.
