Follow my easy recipes for your own homemade Cream of Chicken, mushroom, and celery soups. You won't believe how easy it is! Pop them straight into the freezer for your convenience. No nasty preservatives!
Recipe Ingredients
You can use any type of flavoring for these easy Cream of Condensed Soups. Today we used Chicken Stock, Mushrooms, and Celery leaves and stalks.
I used 500g of mushrooms and roughly 3 cups of celery leaves and stalks
50g butter
2 Tbs of oil (not for the chicken one)
1/4 cup of flour (add more if you want to double the recipe)
1.5 - 2 cups of milk or stock
2 Tbs of Stock powder if you are not using liquid stock
1 c of heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
Add any herbs and spices you wish depending on the flavoured soup
If the soup is too runny thicken with more flour, if it is too thick add more stock or water.
(I will add this to my website once the recipe is ready)

I don't have the freezer space for this, so I use a dry mix that I make. 2 cups milk powder 1 1/2 cups cornstarch or corn flour 1/2 cup dry chicken bouillon or any other dry flavor. 4 Tblsps dehydrated onion 2 tips dry basil 2 tips dry sage or thyme 1 tsp black pepper Mix thoroughly. To make Add 1/3 cup of dry mixture with 1.pint of cold water. Cook on low until thickened stirring constantly. If you have freeze dried mushrooms or celery, you can grind those up for your other soup mixture, even dehydrated works. Any blend of veggies except peas will work.

Thanks for the recipe.

Thank you for putting this in the comments. I was wondering if you can use celery seed or the salt.

@brendawheeler5456 2 ай бұрын

I don't know about celery salt as I never use it. You would have to use too much of either to get the taste of celery that you need. You could add it with powdered celery to get a little more flavor.

I have been making my own cream soups since last year, and they taste so much better. The price of canned soups has become way too expensive here in Canada, and if you read the labels, it's not ingredients that i want to put in my body.

We have cream of celery in Australia. I use it the most of all their soups, to make a celery tuna and pasta dish finished with lemon and cashews. It’s my sons favourite. Very frugal meal. ❤ Oil, onions, celery, tuna, cream of celery soup, tin of water, lemon juice and rind,served over pasta. Cashews as an embellishment but not needed.Everyone loves it. I usually triple the quantities and keep the celery fresh and crispy. I buy my tuna at Aldi but I splurge on Molisano pasta or make my own.

Stacey, I have a golden mushroom soup I’ve made for years I found. I double it. It is so good! It with crusty buttered bread is delicious!

What a great idea using the tops of the celery. No more food waste for me. All those celery leaves I’ve thrown away.

I have bought some Souper trays, Souper is the brand name. They are xtra large ice cube trays. I freeze my soup in them and remove the soup cubes and put in freezer bags for later. One cube is enough for one person. Saves alot of room in the freezer. I usually make pumpkin soup but i am going to try your recipes. We love soup and toast in the winter. Keep giving me great ideas.

I have some already I got them a few years ago now but they are about $100 to get one set over to NZ now. I have found something in New Zealand I am hoping they will work just as well. These plastic containers have been useless and have broken really easily. Thanks for reaching out to let us know :-)

Can soups are full of MSG...I can not use them! I have made my soups with heavy cream and cook them down to thickness desired. Stacy, your cream of celery makes me want to make some and have a bowl with garlic bread on the side. Yum, yum! Thanks for all your cooking videos. 😊❤😊

I use the same mix for seafood chowder when there are specials. Fish heads and frames are always cheap but the best chowder flavour comes from pips or cockles that are steamed for 5 mins and using the liquor that comes off the steaming. I add that to the béchamel along with milk and add fish or other cheap seafood. SO YUM!

@peterbreis5407 4 ай бұрын

You can bottle your own and store on the shelf. Heat your jars to 120°C for half an hour in the oven. Boil the lids. The food should sizzle as you pour it into the hot jars. Make sure you slightly overfill the jars and there are no air pockets, poke with a chopstick. The lid should pop down when it cools. I use recycled passata jars (narrow and tall with small mouth) and gherkin jars (short and wide) each is 680ml and roughly 2 meals. You can also use smaller 380ml jars but I find they are not two meals and too much for one. You night find smaller jars that are just right. Store in a cool dark space. I get cheap fresh ingredients from my local market on close towards end of day. Usually I have too much and it needs cooking within a day or so, so always have bulk to store.

Cream of celery…never thought about it before! I use it in my mum’s tuna macaroni bake. Mind you cost not that prohibitive in Australia mostly

I make my own cream soups as well - in the chicken one, I do use stock instead of milk, and I save the little bits of back & neck meat from when I made the stock to add in. I also make cream of onion soup. Your recipes for the mushroom and celery both look better than my recipes and I will make them the next soup-making day. I'm always looking to improve, and you are helping me do that. I'm slowly working my way through your back videos as I just found your channel recently. I'm so happy I found you!

Hello yes, I have a few up already but have more planned as well. Look for the mac and cheese and the nachos. They are both done in the PC.

@Kayenne54 4 ай бұрын

@margaretstreet2764 Does the company from which you bought your pressure cooker have recipes online? I bought the Crockpot Express (which has options for pressure cooking, as well as slow cooking), and I went to their site online, they had a recipe book. I may not make all the recipes from it, but it gives me an idea of times etc. P.S. I bought an actual physical book, but often product sites will have an index of recipes you can read online.

@connielynn195 5 ай бұрын

The reason Campbell's soups are called condensed is because a lot of the liquid has been removed (one can of water or milk). Will you be adding the same amount of liquid before serving these? If not, then I would call these cream of whatever was the main flavor. Not trying to be nitpicking but cream of mushroom sounds so much more appetizing than condensed. Regardless, they look delicious.

@FarmersWifeHomestead 5 ай бұрын

I agree cream of mushroom sounds much nicer and yes they are the same as condensed as you would thin them down with either stock, water, milk, or cream.

You seem to buy cream in large quantities and hopefully cheaply. Cream here is AU$5.00 (NZ5.60) per 500ml, so I don't know how you afford it. What does 2Lt of cream cost there?

@saddle1940 I get 2 Lt for $12
