Cream Of

[Termyn8or]

You have at times, perhaps rarely, used like Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Yes you. Who really never has ?

Now the cream of whatever it is doesn't matter much, only the cream of part.

How do you make just that ?

I would like to make it myself and have control over the salt and a few other things. I can handle the salt but not everyone can.

So if I can make the stuff, I can add mushrooms, celery or whatever else they add. (there are a few)

Since I don't have a cannery I figure I would have to freeze it, but so be it.

As far as I know it simply means making a soup, adding cream and blending until smooth.

Here is a mushroom soup I made a while ago which uses cream:

I make a small amount of roux to help thicken, as cream of soups tend to be a bit thicker through either a roux or pureeing the solids or both.

Surprised somebody hasn't made a loaded baked potato soup for the cheddar challenge. That would be a creamed soup.
