How people cook with it
Condensed soups are versatile and can be used in many ways. They can be prepared as a simple soup or incorporated into other dishes.
- As a quick soup base
- In casseroles

To prepare as a soup, simply open the can and combine the contents with an equal amount of milk or water in a saucepan. Stir well and heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through. Do not boil. For recipes, it can be added directly to dishes where a creamy mushroom flavor is desired. It provides moisture and richness to baked goods and savory preparations. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way in adding depth.
How it differs from similar foods
