Has anyone developed an alternative for "cream of --- " soups?

Posted by renzata, March 26, 2008

I often come across recipes that sound simple and tasty for basic weekday meals, but they so often rely on the ubiquitous can of cream of X (chicken, mushroom, etc).

I'm trying to avoid processed/high-sodium foods where possible. Has anyone come up with a fairly simple substitute that can fill in for the Campbells?

I'd like to be able to make a casserole without necessarily having to make a bechamel.

Thanks in advance!
