Cream of mushroom soup

Rael

Supper's Ready
I only went to one store, and they didn't have FRESH ####ake mushrooms, so I bought two packages of dried, then reconstituted them, diced them in the food processor, and dumped them into my stock and proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Damn good, if I do say so myself. :drool:

Loves me some Ina. :yay:

And the recipe looks excellent. Before reading that it calls for fresh mushrooms (and that you used dehydrated ones), I was thinking they'd work very well in this. Something about rehydrated mushrooms that makes an incredibly flavorful broth (more than fresh does, methinks). I'll definitely try this one next time.

About the price, I think it's totally worth paying to have great ingredients to make great food. :yay:

I feel about this the way BG feels about canned chicken - stop it immediately. It's gross and wrong, and you might as well put a neon sign on your forehead that says, "I can't cook worth a damn and get all my recipes from the Kraft website."

Tuna casserole, okay - you can use canned mushroom soup in that. It's supposed to be disgusting kid food. And tater tot casserole is okay as well. But to use canned soup in place of gravy or a nice pan sauce is pure ignorant Al Qaeda bull####. It's ridiculously easy to make sauces from scratch, in fact it's easier than opening the can. Plus you get the flavor of the food you're preparing and not the condensed flavor of the tin can.

Really, stop it. Someone needs to care enough about your children to make a stand against this abuse.

:killingme: Don't hold back, Vrai, tell us how you really feel!

There are SOME cases other than the two you mentioned where COM soup seems more convenient for me.

I do baked chicken in a white sauce, said sauce baking with the chicken and thus needing to be REALLY thick before entering the oven. I mix the soup with a few white cheeses and garlic & onion powders and poultry seasoning, put it on chicken parts with a spoon, and bake it at 425 for 45 minutes (or 15 - 20 minutes on power level 8 in the microwave).

I also do sauteed chicken livers, and have done it both ways, either making a roux and stirring in mushrooms and such, or just adding the soup. The latter cuts 5-10 minutes off the cooking time and yields more reliable results.

But that's just me.

I love love love the old school green bean casserole - complete with French's Onions on top and Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup and I MUST have it each year at the holidays. So, I'll take your cream of mushroom soup and put it to good use.

French's Green Bean Casserole

And before you B&M that it's just not as good as making it from scratch - I call :bs:. I've made it from scratch and even though it was tasty, it wasn't as good because it wasn't quite right. Why? Because there is something about the taste of nostalgia.
