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“.
