Cream of mushroom soup is a Holiday favorite.  We all know it from growing up with green bean casserole made with Campbell’s mushroom soup!

But don’t be fooled… it says it is healthy, but is it?

Unfortunately this store bought cream of mushroom soup has MANY bad ingredients that you definitely do not want to put in your body including:

campbells

  • Chemically Processed Highly Refined Vegetable Oil: High in polyunsaturated fatty acids and potentially harmful on a cellular level
  • Modified Food Starch: A highly processed starch that contains maltodextrin (often used as a name to hide the presence of MSG)
  • Monosodium Glutamate: A food additive and excitotoxin that may interfere with natural neurotransmitter production
  • Soy Protein Concentrate: A toxic derivative of soy
  • Other bad ingredients: such as Soy Lecithin, Yeast Extract and “Flavoring”

In addition, despite the “Cream” on the label, canned soup has very little actual cream. Cream is the 9th ingredient on the list, after vegetable oil, processed flour, MSG and other questionable items. And it isn’t even real cream! It is actually “Dehydrated Cream” containing milk and soy lecithin as a thickener.

These ingredients alone should be a big motivator for you to make your own homemade cream of mushroom soup!

This recipe is made with fresh mushrooms (use organic) and real food ingredients.  Using only 10 ingredients total… you can make extra and keep it in the freezer for easy meal prep at a later date
