I sautéed celery, onions and mushrooms in butter. Add one cup of chicken stock, potatoes and the spices/seasonings cooked til tender. Added half and half, mushroom soup, shrimp, crabmeat and I used cheddar brats.
I just didn't think one cup of milk/half and half would make enough soup for 4 servings.
And I also added frozen corn.
I prefer recipes that don’t use packaged/ canned ingredients. I don’t buy canned soups because most have questionable ingredients. Include in your recipe how to make the mushroom soup.
Just wondered is it easy to double for a larger group?
This is a great recipe to double! Just make sure you start with a large enough pot.
Thank you for this recipe! I saw this on your site about a year ago and have been making it ever since. I don't use crab because it is hard to get here and very expensive so I add extra shrimp and sausage. This is my favourite soup recipe! Quick and easy and we all love it!
I don't know what Old Bay seasoning is. It might be helpful to list the ingredients in that because a lot of people won't know or be able to get that product either.
Old Bay Seasoning should be located in the spice rack section of your market, in a bright yellow tin with a red cap. It’s a proprietary blend of 18 herbs and spices, created in the late 1930 in the Chesapeake Bay Area. Most chain markets ( like Walmart) will have it.
The ingredients listed on the Old Bay label are celery seed salt, black pepper, red pepper and paprika. Copycat recipes online have long lists of spice ingredients, but for the 1/4 tsp in this recipe, I wouldn't worry about it since celery salt and pepper are also in the recipe. Perhaps add a pinch more to your own taste.
What else can be used other than mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup? My household has severe allergies to mushrooms. Thank you!
