FAQs

What is a substitute for heavy cream in cream of mushroom soup? ›

Cream of chicken, celery, broccoli, or potato soup all work well as side dishes for any meal. On the other hand, you can use heavy cream, sour cream, or cream cheese combinations to substitute cream of mushroom soup as an ingredient in a recipe.

The primary difference between condensed soup and regular soup lies in the consistency. Condensed soup is much thicker and concentrated, often used as a base in recipes to add flavor and creaminess. To use it, you typically dilute it with water, milk, or broth.

One way to enhance the flavor of canned cream of mushroom soup is to add fresh mushrooms. Slice some cremini or button mushrooms and sauté them in butter until they become golden brown and tender. Then, stir them into the soup.

Soy milk and olive oil

For a vegan dairy-free alternative to heavy cream, try mixing soy milk with olive oil. Much like the pairing of milk and butter, olive oil adds fat to the soy milk for a flavor and function comparable to heavy cream.

You can make a stand-in for the heavy cream called for in a recipe where it will be mixed with other ingredients. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a large glass bowl and gradually whisk in 3/4 cup whole milk or half and half. You'll end up with 1 cup of a cream substitute.

Herbs: The best herbs we have found over the years to compliment those incredible flavours is a combination of thyme and parsley. Of course, if you don't like those, you can also use rosemary, oregano, tarragon, chives or cilantro. Use what you love!

Add cream or yogurt

Adding extra cream can thicken a creamy or blended soup like this wild mushroom-soup, but stirring in a spoonful of thick yogurt can be more effective. Be careful not to boil the soup once you've added the cream or yogurt or it may split.

I use chicken broth for the cream of chicken soup substitute. To make a heartier soup, like the cream of mushroom, I use beef broth. Sometimes I like to add in a little shredded chicken, sliced mushrooms, celery, etc. Use your imagination.

Mushrooms are good source of B vitamins, including vitamin B12 (normally only found in animal products). They also contain minerals, including selenium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and manganese. Mushrooms can be a great source of vitamin D — but only if you let your mushrooms sunbathe!

Watery cream soups can come from a couple of different reasons. One of them is that the thickener that was utilized (be it a fat and flour roux or a liquid and flour or corn starch slurry) was inadequate.

That is easily remedied by slicing and sautéing fresh mushrooms and adding them to the soup along with their cooking juices. If you're feeling adventurous, try using other varieties of mushrooms rather than white buttons. Also, add some finely diced shallots to the sautée and season them well with salt and pepper.

Add Flour Or Cornstarch

You can thicken soup by adding flour, cornstarch, or another starchy substitute.

Sour cream is an easy replacement for heavy cream. It can be easily stirred into a dish and offers another flavor profile to soups, stews and sauces. Plus, using it as a heavy cream substitute is a great way to use up that lingering tub in the fridge.
