Great spot on recipe! I grew up with this soup for cooking in a lot of our family foods, most specifically what I needed it for was beef roast. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any cans at the moment because of the pandemic, but this recipe is perfect, it looks and tastes just like Campbell's but without the extra sodium and metallicy flavor from the cans. I used baby portabella mushrooms and a cheap pinot Grigio and that worked just fine. I made a quick beef broth from Better than Bouillon but honestly if you have home made beef stock that flavor will only help punch up this recipe. I'm so thankful for this.

This recipe is excellent for Chicken Marsala but it is NOT a spot on substitute for Campbell’s Golden Mushroom soup. And where does the celery, onion and garlic come into play? Delicious but misleading.

SPOT ON! Totally impressed but I did miss when you add the garlic, celery & onions? I will sauté them first briefly before adding the mushrooms next time. I too needed Golden Mushroom soup for a recipe (pot roast) and went to 3 places; all were out. Could it be we’re all making the same recipe from Just a Pinch??

Thank you for this recipe. I developed a corn allergy a few years ago which prevented me from being able to use store bought soups in my recipes. This mushroom soup sauce has been exactly what I have been looking for to use in place of Campbells Golden Mushroom soup. Today I am using this to make my Mom's homemade stuffing which I haven't been able to eat since my corn allergy developed.

Easy and delicious! I needed some Golden Mushroom Soup for a recipe, but couldn't find it at any of the three grocery stores I checked. I followed this recipe instead, using the ingredients I had on-hand. Here are the changes I made: used regular half-salt butter instead of clarified;used 2 cups beef broth (didn't have white wine), omitted tomato paste. To season, i only used pepper since the beef broth was salty enough. It was quick, easy, and yummy! I'll definitely make it again.
