You guys! I need to pop in with a couple of last minute recipes before Thanksgiving.

This cream of mushroom soup is one, and my cheesy hash brown casserole is number two, you can find it HERE.

Let me start by saying, I have nothing against canned soups.  I just like to make things homemade whenever humanly possible.

One of my favorite canned condensed soups to use is that yummy fiesta nacho cheese – no substituting there!

My main reason for substituting canned cream of mushroom is, well, because I can.  It’s easy.  It tastes more fresh.  I know exactly what I put in it.  Win/win.

I did use this soup in my cheesy hash brown casserole, then I handed some of to my parents and they simply poured it over chicken in the slow cooker for an easy dinner!

This cream if mushroom soup is condensed, meaning, you don’t want to just heat it and eat it out of the jar as it is.

It’s best used in cooking.

If you’d like to eat it as a big bowl of soup, you’ll just add 2 cups of milk when you heat it up.

This recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled, but isn’t best for freezing.

Keep it in the fridge for up to one week.

I hope you enjoy this in all of your soups, casseroles, and holiday dishes as much as we do!

    Hi, what’s the longest you’ve stored the mushroom soup for? Just wondering how long this will last in the fridge. Thanks!
