❤️ Why you'll love these recipes

The possibilities for easy dinner recipes are endless!

Quick casseroles are the ultimate comfort food as far as I'm concerned. You can put some vegetables, a protein, and some kind of carbs in a casserole dish, stir in a can of creamy soup, pop it in the oven, and 30 minutes later you'll have a delicious meal.

Chicken Empanadas

I love these super easy chicken empanadas for tailgating, game day, and anytime we need a meal on the go. A creamy mixture of cooked chicken breast and cream of chicken soup are baked inside fluffy biscuits.

💭 Things to know

  • A can of cream soup is a quick way to create a creamy sauce or gravy. For beef gravy you can add the beef flavor of Better than Bouillion to cream of mushroom soup and a little garlic powder to taste.
  • Make a quick meal with sliced deli turkey and a can of cream of chicken soup. Thin the soup out with a little milk and warm the sliced turkey in it. Serve over toast.
  • Casseroles with canned cream soups can usually be frozen without any problem but recipes with homemade versions can't. The sauce will break and get watery.
  • You can use this pantry staple to thicken watery gravies, too! Just whisk it in the gravy a tablespoon or so at a time until you get the texture you're looking for.

👩🏻‍🍳 Frequently asked questions

What is a good substitute for cream of chicken soup?

You can use an equal amount of sour cream as condensed soup. It will have a similar texture but you'll have to make up the flavor with seasonings.

Can you use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken?

Yes! You could also use cream of asparagus, cream of celery, or other cream soup varieties.
