By any chance, have you tried making this up in a “thick” version to use as a replacement for canned (condensed) cream of mushroom soup? There are a few recipes form my childhood that called for undiluted canned cream of mushroom soup, and I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement for years. Thank you.
That is a very interesting point Beth. I haven’t tried this, but, I’m wondering about making it thicker simply not topping up the liquid, or, putting a bit more of the SOS mix in?
