A basic roux is thickened with cream or milk too to make a creamy soup, to which mushrooms and/or mushroom broth are then added. It is well recognized as a typical variety of condensed canned soup in North America.
Besides a common foundational element in casseroles and comfort dishes is cream of mushroom soup. This usage is comparable to that of mushroom gravy.
History of Cream of Mushroom Soup
Soups made with cream and mushrooms are much older than the canned variety.
Since many hundreds of years ago, soups based on the historic cream sauces of Italy (Salsa colla) and France (Béchamel) have been produced. In 1934, the Campbell Soup Company in America started making its popular “Cream of Mushroom Soup“.
