I have been making a LOT of our meals from scratch. There are several reasons for it, but the top 2 are: 1) it’s healthier for us and 2) the food tastes better! I don’t make a lot of things that call for a “cream of” soup, but I love this recipe for the times that I DO need something.
Here is the recipe I use for Cream of (whatever you’d like to make) Soup!

Recipe Notes
I always double this recipe and freeze it in Ball jars. You can use the milk/stock version, or you could use all of one or the other.
Have you made “Cream of …” Soup? If not, will you try it?
**Full Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. I am just sharing a recipe I use with you all! I hope you enjoy it! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
thankyou for this idea! Sometimes i run out of “cream of” and move to a new recipe so this will help. Bookmarking!
Brilliant! I was just complaining the other day about how some of my recipe books call for canned soup which I won’t buy. THANK YOU!
I have high blood pressure, so canned soups just aren’t an option for me. Either they have killer amounts of sodium or they’re hard to find and crazy expensive low sodium.
Your recipe sounds so easy, and I think I’d like to try it maybe substituting greek yogurt for the milk?
I think it would be REALLY thick that way. I am not sure if it’ll work, but it never hurts to try!!
I’m sure I’d have to add water to the yogurt first, just thinking to up the protein content of soup recipes.
I am forever running out of cream of whatever so I will be trying this!
