Growing up, Cream of Mushroom Soup only came in a preservative filled can. It was used in so many casserole dishes but I never even considered eating it on its own. It was full of flavor, but not really good flavor.
This recipe chances all of that. This soft and creamy soup is the ultimate comfort food. It has a perfect blend of spices which keep the flavors bright while the real cream and chicken stock make it rich and filling.

Pro tip: Make extra and freeze this for any recipe that calls for a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup.
