I haven't had dry soup mixes at home for over 20 years but I do
use canned cream soups for a quick creamed tuna (mushroom or celery)
and for that shredded/hashbrown potato casserole (with cream cheese,
chicken or mushroom soups.) I do leave out the 1/4lb of butter
the original recipe calls for and use the lower fat version of the
soups. I doesn't make much difference at all. I usually strain out the
small chuinks of chicken (or whatever it is in there) before combining.
