Not only do I cook with cream of mushroom soup, I also use cream of chicken and cream of celery. I make lots of dishes using these soups. We love them!

same here! In fact yesterday I made chicken and rice with all three!!!

I substitute cream of chicken too. My daughter is allergic to mushrooms, and I think they're nasty anyhow.

I don't make anything that requires cream of mushroom or cream of anything soup. Yechhh.

I make a nice homemade bechamel sauce and add mushrooms if necessary. I don't cook with cream of anything out of a can.

Don't use it here...although I'm not sure I count since I DID use it until my girls were diagnosed with Celiac. No more Cream of soup recipes for us!

I have and I do like mushroom soup but after making a dish with it this last week, I looked at the sodium content I couldn't believe how much salt was in it, 900 mg for 1/2 a coup! Maybe I'll look at other brands. It's good in hamburger stroganoff, tuna casserole, even with chicken, yum!

Oooo! Good idea! I'm going to try the tatertot casserole with the bechamel sauce instead! Has to be better for you because I'm sure I'll put less salt in it.

Nope. If I want cream of mushrooms I will have it in a soup but I won't use it in anything else. I really don't like the green bean casserole served at Christmas either. I am an adult and I still get demands to eat it from my grandmother.

 

[Diznygrl]

I will use cream of mushroom or cream of chicken if the recipe calls for it. Don't think I could ever just eat it as a soup, though.

Over the past few years I've started buying the "healthy request" versions of the soups to cut back on the massive salt content. Yeah, I know it's still not really "healthy", but it's better than the regular stuff. Tastes better too.

Same here. I make all the traditional casseroles (green bean, tuna etc) with a homemade, seasoned white sauce.

I can't stand any of the cream of chicken, mushroom, celery . And I REFUSE to cook with them.

I LOVE cream of mushroom soup when it is freshly made.

I totally agree with the bug guts comments...

 

[Strawberry's mom&dad]

just threw out 6 cans of "cream" type soups. They expired 2008
so no I do not cook with them any more.

I have to use the mushroom soup in my beef stroganoff, which is only because it was my childhood favorite dish, now one of my dd's favorites.

I can't stand the soup over pork chops then served over rice.... so bland!

I only used cream of mushroom for my beef stroganoff, too.

I also tried the soup over pork chops and found it bland.

I was over on either the Budget Board or the Cooking forum here, and they had a huge thread of about 300 posts for casseroles. I thought, "Oh good, let me check this out." I thought casseroles would be something like beef stew or lamb stew. About 297 posts were recipes using cream of ___ soups. So NOT interested. I guess casserole is French for "Cream of."

I don't use canned soups either. They gross me out. It so much healthier and tastier just to make your own sauces. I LOVE cream of mushroom soup when it's homemade. However I just love eating soup by itself as a one pot meal. I make homemade soup at least once a week in the winter and occasionally in the summer. I'm a vegatarian so their is so many possiblies and it's never the same soup twice. So easy to throw together with whatever you have on hand. I made a potato and kale soup last week and is was so delicious.

I use them in my potato hot dish....but not much else.

For stroganoff I make my own out of sour cream and mushrooms and seasonings, thinned with beef stock.

DH, however, has a dish from his childhood that he loves...I refuse to make it, but it's spaghetti noodles, mixed with tuna and cream of celery. BLECK!!

I never use canned soups for anything. I don't care for the amount of sodium in the canned stuff.
