I like to use canned cream of chicken soup in a lot of recipes. One recipe I really like is the one that comes on the can. It's made with chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup. It's real easy to make and tastes good too. What have you made with a can of soup?

Yes I do. The most popular around here being cream of mushroom. It can go in a bunch of different dishes. One that I use it for is my tuna casserole. It is a big hit.

I use a lot of cream of mushroom soup too. I especially like it with tuna casserole. However, my favorite meal with it is cubed steaks fried and then smothered with the soup and let it cook for about 30 minutes. That is one of our favorite meals!!

I use cream of mushroom a lot. It is great in casseroles, and my husband likes it as a gravy over potatoes. I mix in 1/2 can of water to make the gravy less thick.

We use can soup a lot for our cooking. Me and my husband use cream of mushroom & cream of chicken a lot and we use the cheese soup a lot for hot pasta dishes and rice and we usually toss in some frozen veggies in it and it makes a quick and yummy meal.Since the weather recently got colder we find ourselves cooking with can soup more often now. We are big fan's of hot comfort food when the temperature drops.

yes. i did it often when i stay in campus during my university days. as i cannot cook apart from frying an egg, canned food is a good source of fast food to me when i am hungry. when i was staying with my gf, we would stored up a lot of canned foods and soup is one of them..campbell soup is the popular brand we always buy as they have lots of flavour. i love cream of mushroom the best. normally i do not add anything as i would just open up, add hot water and boil. for the thicker soup, heating up will do and the more expensive ones would have more ingredients in them,

I use canned soup to make Chicken ala King, boil the chicken, debone it, in a pot saute in butter chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, cook till tender. Add the chicken and a can of cream of chicken and a can of cream of mushroom soup and 2 cans of milk. Cook till all is hot and creamy. Add salt and pepper and any other seasonings that you like.
YOU can put this over biscuits or over toast.
I use canned soup to smother pork chops, in meatloaf, to make gravy. Canned soup is so easy to add to other ingredients.
I make something simular to that and put it on biscuits. Yummy. Thanks for the reply.

though, many people are against canned food because of its cancer risk, but myself have ambition to be producing canned okro which can be used for cooking. most people in my country like okro soup.
it is a dream that has to be fulfilled.
thanks!

My favorite is cream of mushroom! I love soups! Since I don't know how to cook soups I use canned goods. And it's delicious! Sometimes when I am sick I eat chicken or cream of mushroom soup. It's easy to prepare I will just heat it and eat it!
Since I am sick I can't stand long on my feet and do more stuff.
And yes, I can make also different kinds of recipes.
Have a nice day !

I use a lot of different soups for cooking. Sometimes I'll use soup while cooking rice to give it more flavor. Last week I made pork chops simmered in french onion soup. I've also made gravy out of cream of mushroom soup and onion soup, it's really yummy. At holidays I make green bean casserole using cream of mushroom. I make chicken bundles with cream of chicken soup mixed with stuffing and chopped chicken and wrap cresents around it. Sometimes I'll just pour a can of cheddar cheese soup over french fries or broccoli before cooking.
I think cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and cheddar cheese soup are probably the ones I use the most.

I make dill chicken soup with 2 cans of potato soup in the crockpot. Love cooking with soup. If I make meat in the crockpot or pressure cooker, I will often use whatever kind of cream soup I can find. You can always make a great gravy with it when the meat is done. I make easy chicken pot pie with cream of chicken soup.
Also bouillon is great to use for lots of stuff too. I add a few cubes to water in the bottom of the pan when cooking chicken or roast in the oven.

in case you want to try it....
1 can campbells cream of mushroom soup.
1/2 can of water
1 Med. Beef Shoulder Roast (you must brown it on the stove first so you get that nice beefy crust going)
you can either use a handful of baby onions or one medium onion (the sweet vidalia ones are great) quartered
3 sm potatoes cubed.
I use a whole container of baby portabella mushrooms cleaned and cut in half.
I've always made it in one of those oven baking bags, because 1. the clean up is super easy and 2. it's easier to see in the bag than one of those dutch ovens... Tho I bet you could make this in a crock pot too.
I can't remember how long you have to cook it (maybe 2-3 hours @ 350-375), I just cook it till the meat falls apart.

I like to use Campbell's cream of mushroom soup in meatloaf. Try it straight from the can when mixing a meatloaf. How much you will need depends on the amount of ingredients you use. It also is very good as a sauce on top of meatloaf when prepared as directed on the can.

I used canned soup in a lot of recipes as well. I mostly use the cream of chicken or cream of mushroom. I use that in many different casseroles. I use it in green bean casserole, hashbrown casserole, etc. I also like to eat cream of chicken soup by itself when I don't feel well.

I use a lot of cream soups in a variety of recipes that I fix for my family. I use cream of mushroom in a chopped steak recipe, I use cream of clery in vegetable casseroles and I use cream cheese soups in potato recipes. I hav eaten the cream of potato soup but I don't use it in any recipes that I have.
