>If you consider this an “ingredient” you can’t cook.

It's damn useful when I feel unwell and need a casserole in the fridge

>>17048032
Premixes are fine. Shoot me, negro.

It's a weekday ingredient: you're not trying to impress anyone when you cook with it; you just want food on the table. To use it is the standard of homemade american food, and if you make the equivalent from scratch it's a 1000x better but this can will probably suffice on a tuesday

Context?
Obviously soup is not an ingredient

Cream of "whatever" soups are really popular for casseroles and standard midwest dinner cooking

I made some Swedish meatballs in my slowcooker and it called for cream of mushroom. If its not a ingredient in the sense that I need it to make the recipe I dont know what else to call it.

>>17048053
all done :d

>>17048132
How is it?

It's perfect. I mixed in some grated parmesan and a vegetable stock pot at the end and I'm very happy. I thought the chicken breast would dry out but I think I stopped cooking before that happened

I generally replace cream of mushroom with cream of celery in most-every recipe it's called for. As a topping for shepherd's pie, it's irreplaceable. But last night at my aunt's house, she made the classic canned-green-bean-cream-of-mushroom-frenchfried-onion-topping casserole. I wasn't going to fuss. And I enjoyed it quite much. I remember being put off of mushroom things as a child, but now I couldn't really describe to you what flavor I don't like.

I'm trying to remember the name of which famous French chef praised midwestern housewives for being masters of recombinant recipes. I think he's wrong, but you're a pretentious prick too.

>>17048032
If you need to restrict your definition of cooking to make superior food, you can't cook.

>>17048132
Looks like shit :d
But I’d still eat it

Cream of mushroom is good soup no cap

>>17048792
It's sloppa anon, all sloppa looks like shit but tastes great

>>17048424
think that was Neal Stephenson

homemade cream of mushroom is the best soup. canned condensed cream of mushroom is still breddy gud.

>>17048130
I'm a swede and I'm pretty sure we don't use slowcookers and cream of mushroom when we make meatballs.

Wrong.

>with chicken
what, just a couple whole chicken breasts?
