I guess today very few households are making the home made variety due to the availability and affordability of ready-made mixes and canned versions around, but if you come to think of it it’s really not that hard to make and not that really expensive.

Knowing how do make one is really significant specially if cooking is your hobby like me as mushroom soup is a used commonly as base of different dishes such as casseroles. So give it a try regardless of using it as a base for your dish or just enjoying a warm soup.
