Cream of Soup Sub

[slenamond]

What would be a clean sub for cream of soups like cream of mushroom and cream of chicken?

Thanks, Sharon

I just try to get reduced fat/reduced sodium versions or even use less than what the recipe calls for. cheat-cheat-cheat to save calories/fat!

Blending potatoes into the soup gives it a thicker consistency, and a dab of olive oil in the soup gives some viscosity that is lacking without cream.

I like to take about 2 cups out of the soup pot and blend it (I used an immersion blender, but a regular blender would work fine too) until it's nice and creamy, then add back in with the rest of the soup. I make a dairy-free corn chowder this way, and it's spooky how creamy it tastes, from the blended corn and potatoes.
