  1. This worked great! I was craving tuna casserole and I realized I didn't have any cream of (anything) soup. I actually preferred this to the canned stuff! Looks like Campbell's has lost a customer! Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I have been making this for my family at least monthly, but I never called it cream soup, I called it 'chicken gravy!' <br/><br/>I love that we are going back to the original instead of trying to make a 'quick and easy' substitute, which is what all those '50's era recipes calling for 'Cream of ____ Soup' were doing.
     
  3. I have used this many times and can't believe I have never rated. Its a lifesaver! People won't try certain recipes based on it uses can of cream of something and they are missing out becasuse they can make it and not get all that sodium they are trying to avoid! AWESOME
     
  4. I ran out of cream of mushroom soup today so decided to give this a try. It was easy to make and used ingredients I always have around. For just pennies, it worked perfectly in my recipe. Thank you so much for posting!
     
  5. The recipe comes out better when I use homemade chicken broth so I've been freezing my own chicken broth. I have been making this regularly for nearly a year and I love it so much that I only use the canned stuff if I'm out of broth.
