Oh my goodness! This turned out amazing! I was just hoping it would be as good as Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup so that I could use it for some traditional recipes. It is *SO*much better! I am milk, soy and gluten intolerant, so I used gluten-free flour, soy & dairy free butter, and almond milk. I keep having to fend off my family from eating it straight out of the pan so I'll have some left for recipes. They ALL love it!

Excellent! I used this as a vegan cream of mushroom soup for green bean casserole, and let me tell ya, this is da' bomb! Very delicious indeed, and was so perfect in all ways. I used *Silk* organic unsweetened milk. Thickened perfectly, and was so delicious, people were hoping I made extra soup. No. Sad faces abounded. Thank you! Made for Thanksgiving 2009

My son is allergic to dairy and soy - what a great recipe this is! I used shortening instead of margarine because it's hard to find a completely dairy-free one in my area. Rice milk worked well, although I used some corn starch in place of one of the T of flour, because I thought that might thicken the thin rice milk better. It did thicken it - no idea if it would have been OK anyway. I doubled the mushrooms and onions and added a very finely minced spicy pepper. It was so good we were tempted to just eat it straight, but I did forge ahead and put it in the tuna casserole. It was actually the best tuna casserole ever. I think we'll keep using this even if he outgrows his allergy!

I, like a few others, recently changed my diet and no longer mix meat and dairy. I was so disappointed because of so many of my recipes calls for cream of mushroom soup. That is, until I discovered THIS recipe. Your recipe has changed my life!!! It is so easy to make and tastes so good! Actually WAY better than that canned garbage at the store. I saw another person ask about freezing this recipe to plan ahead and I didn't see an answer. Well, I froze it, and I made cream of mushroom soup sloppy joes. I know it sounds weird but it's something me and my dad used to eat. I also didn't see a way to un-concentrate it, so I winged it. At first, the soup looked weird after freezing and thawing. Like it separated. And I reconstituted it with the same amount of water, just like I would canned concentrated soup. It still looked funny for awhile and once it completely warmed up, it looked like it was supposed to. It didn't taste as good concentrated versus not, but I just added some salt and pepper and it was okay. All in all, this recipe is simply awesome and I'm so glad that I found it. I also use almond milk instead of soy. I don't know if it makes a difference because I've only made it with almond milk, but I like it. Thanks again!

My daughter and I are allergic to dairy so I was very excited to try a recipe for a vegan condensed soup. I am thrilled with how it turned out! The favor and texture were perfect AND it was so easy to make. Even my super picky husband thought it was delicious in the stroganoff recipe I made with it.

I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to eat a green bean casserole again!!! My green bean casserole tasted almost dead on like the dairy filled original! I did make a couple of changes - I add a little minced garlic in with the mushrooms and use onion powder instead of minced onion. I also use less soymilk - between 3/4 and 1 cup - it seems to be a more accurate consistency that way. Thanks a million!
