Condensed mushroom soup

I had a chum who was a Hospital Dietician also a good cook.
She used to use the Mushroom one with added tins of Mushrooms to fill Vol-au-vants. Sounded grim but was really nice.

Witzend weve used the very same recipe for many many years. It is quick and very tasty. It was certainly used when camping with kids.

Yes, my mum used to make it too - but she'd add tinned sweetcorn to hers instead of peas, and sometimes top it with grated cheese.

The price of soup has rocketed. Heinz chicken was £1.80 for a tin that now only serves one. Strangely you could also buy 5 tins for £5.00.A tin used to feed 3 of us.

Don’t buy Heinz is the answer kircubbin plenty of own brand soups are just as tasty, on their own or used in a dish. M&S own brand is 65p, others are a similar price.

Years ago I used to make stuffed peppers, sausage meat and onion, mushrooms too I think, fried with garlic, stuffed into the just cooked peppers, then baked with condensed tomato soup for the sauce. Beansprouts went well with it I recall, and rice.
I get condensed mushroom soup in Home Bargains, but I haven’t seen any other flavours.

Chickato soup is nice. Mix chicken and tomato.

When we first got married I used to do layers of tuna, condensed mushroom soup, potato crisps and chopped hard boiled egg in a dish in the oven, served with peas. It sounds revolting, but was delicious. All the ingredients were very inexpensive too!

I seem to remember Campbell’s putting little recipes on their soup labels.

Yes, there is tuna pasta bake on my tin of tomato soup.

The first time my daughter saw condensed mushroom soup, with meat floating around in it, she ran away and hid.

I love these recipes.Thank you for sharing but I’ll have to go and check these soups for gluten. So many of them have barley or wheat in them.

Yes, mushroom condensed is good for making slo-cooker casseroles go further. ASDA's lentil soup is good too, but isn't condensed.

Does anyone know if the celery one is still available?. I used to like that.

I've not seen the celery soup for along time. I used to keep that and the mushroom soup in. Made a quick, easy meal when we were fitting in all the after school activities.

The price shot up very suddenly.

In the 1970's I had the Campbell's cook book. Full of recipes using their condensed soups. I found the recipes were very useful when camping with our children. I might try the chilli recipe, posted above, then freeze portions.

Marmardoit I will continue to seek out the celery one . I know their condensed oxtail has been discontinued and also the pea I think so I guess celery has gone the same way.

Good quick recipe. Put any white fish in a casserole dish, cover with lemon juice, and a tin of condensed mushroom soup, then grated cheese, few pats of butter, and breadcrumbs. Leave in oven until brown.

Easy to make, if you can't find a tin to buy. I make lovely mushroom soup, no gluten, soy or questionable flavourings.
