26 Recipes with Cream of Mushroom Soup

Updated on Jun. 25, 2025

These recipes with cream of mushroom soup bring comfort food to the table, from tender baked pork chops and chicken to cheesy casseroles—all built around a can of cream of mushroom soup.

Cream of mushroom soup is nostalgic, underrated by others and the secret to dinner success. Recipes with cream of mushroom soup are packed with umami from the mushroom base, and create a thick, stable sauce that pairs with everything from pasta to beef to green beans.

What makes this collection of easy dinner ideas with soup worth bookmarking is the balance of flavors and textures among the recipes. Here you will find classics, like green bean casserole and meaty casserole recipes, as well as less expected recipes with cream of mushroom soup, like a shortcut souffle and spicy queso dip.

These recipes are not overly fussy to make, but still deliver a big flavor. Most of these versatile mushroom soup dishes are hearty enough on their own, but buttery parmesan garlic bread or a green side salad would work with almost any of them. You can make homemade cream of mushroom soup to swap into these recipes, but the ease and flavor canned condensed soup brings is hard to beat.

Recipes with Cream of Mushroom Soup FAQ

What creamy casserole recipes start with cream of mushroom soup?

Creamy casseroles are one of the best uses for cream of mushroom soup, and some of the most classic recipes are green bean casserole, turkey tetrazzini and tuna noodle casseroles. Beyond these go-to recipes, the creamy soup is neutral enough to pair with spicy flavors and different herbs, so you can branch out to new recipes that add variety to your dinners. Cream of mushroom soup is ideal for casseroles because it gives the dish creaminess and richness without having to make a roux-based sauce, saving time in the kitchen.

Which easy dinner ideas with soup can I store in the freezer?

Casseroles, chicken dishes and pasta bakes made with mushroom soup all freeze well for future meals. Freeze the entire dish, well-wrapped, or divide into individual portions and freeze in freezer-safe storage containers or bags. Label with the date and reheating instructions so you don’t have to search for the recipe again for the directions when it’s time to eat.

What pantry staple meals can I make with cream of mushroom soup?

It’s easy to make creative mushroom soup recipes from a handful of pantry staples, because the cream of mushroom soup will bind everything together while adding flavor. Skillet pastas, rice bowls and quick chicken and stuffing bakes mostly use ingredients that can be stocked in the cabinet, fridge or freezer and come together quickly. Add color with frozen peas or extra bulk with canned beans, and don’t forget a generous sprinkle of your favorite dried herbs and spices.
