What is Cream of Chicken Soup Made of?
Before we get to the recipes, what is cream of chicken soup? While made in slightly different ways it’s generally a soup made with chicken, celery, chicken stock, and seasonings cooked in cream or milk.
The version we often think about is Campbell’s cream of chicken soup which first made it onto grocery shelves in 1947. It likely started to be used as the base of recipes soon after, I’ve seen advertised recipes from the 1950s and 1960s.
Can I use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup?
Yes, you can! Cream of mushroom is another soup often used in recipes. I happen to be allergic to mushrooms so something I have found myself doing often is substituting cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup.
You can also use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken if you perfect it. Both are very similar so they work in most of the same dishes.
