Have you read the label? Have you been avoiding it on purpose?
Don’t go hide under your bed! I confess! I confess! I was also hanging on to my beloved cream of something soups! I had figured out how to make cream of chicken soup but cream of mushroom soup was blowing my mind! I mean, I just knew it had to be impossible to mimic that deliciousness!
Well, I am about to show you the magic behind the curtain and you are going to be so surprised! It is REALLY simple! And, what is better, it only takes a couple of ingredients you probably have on hand. Are you as excited as me!? You can finally kick that can to the curb! Processed foods be gone! Real food tastes good and is good for you!

Do you remember the post I did about making Swedish meatballs a LONG time ago? This recipe is one my mom used to make when I was a kid. It is one of my favorite comfort food dishes. I was so excited to remake this recipe. It once called for a can of cream of mushroom soup…now I use my homemade version and it is EVEN BETTER! Not only is it better tasting…it doesn’t have all those yucky fake foods in it. REAL, Wholesome food tastes good and doesn’t have to be difficult.
