Can you substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken?

i have a recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup. but i dont like mushrooms so i got cream of chicken will that workCan you substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken?
Yes, it will taste a little different but should work OK depending on what you are making. If you are making a casserole where it calls for the soup you will probably not notice a difference.





Only problem I would see is if you were making something that has beef in it and you would probably not want to put chicken flavored stuff in a casserole that calls for cream of mushroom soup.





I have had to make the substitution on the fly when was cooking dinner and did not have the cream of mushroom soup. Good Luck!Can you substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken?
Absolutely, that is how new recipes are born
As far as I'm concerned, recipes are just guide lines! You adjust however you'd like! My kids don't like mushrooms and one son is vegetarian, so we use a lot of Cream of celery or brocolli.
I'm like you - I don't like canned mushrooms, anyway. I always substitute with cream of chicken.
It'll probably give your recipe a different taste, but it should be okay.
yes indeed i use it alot with cooking.....
yes, any of the ';cream'; soups can be used instead of just the mushroom... I don't like the mushroom either, and usually use the chicken myself...
yes. I think it tastes great
As long as it is not a beef dish. It also ';tastes'; a little saltier, so if your recipe calls for adding salt, don't. Remember that the cream of chicken will look yellow, vs the off white of cream of mushroom.
Yes
I always do -- even for green bean cassarole - and no one has noticed yet
Yep. Or, if you want to use cream of celery, you can do that.
Yes they all have the same consistancy. If the flavor fits, it will be fine. I use celery instead of mushroom often.
yes, of course! that's part of being a cook, whether part-time or full-time--learn to try experiment with different ingredients :) happy cooking...
sure, if you don't mind a ';chickeny'; taste instead of a ';mushroomy'; taste.





spend the dollar, go to the store, and get cream of mushroom, especially if youre making green bean casserole.
it would totally change the taste of whatever you are cooking.... cream of mushroom has a very distinct flavor.... sure it might still work, but it just wouldn't taste the same......

  1. If it is a beef dish what condensed soup substitution would you recommend rather than cream of mushroom?

    1. My experience is that cream of chicken works just fine even in beef dishes as do cream of celery or cream of onion
