It’s hard not to enjoy a rich, satisfying bowl of nice hot cream of mushroom soup. But if cold tomatoes are delicious in gazpacho, can cold mushroom soup be delicious, too?
To find out, we started by making a custard base for our ice cream. We warmed 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan. We whisked a bit of this mixture into 3 egg yolks to make the egg yolks warm. Then we added everything back into the saucepan until it began to thicken (about 160 F). Then we mixed in one can of Campbell’s condensed cream of mushroom soup.
Condensed soup always looks a little unwholesome when it’s just out of the can.
We blended the ingredients thoroughly. Then we left the mixture in our refrigerator overnight to chill. The next day we poured it into our ice cream maker and let it churn.
We tasted a little bit straight out of the ice cream maker, but it was still a bit soft, so we put it in the freezer overnight to stiffen.
Credit for this idea goes to Beth’s dad. (Now you can all wonder how she survived to adulthood.)
Reviews:
Alex: *whimpers before even tasting it* Moaning: “Why?! Why was I made to taste that?!” *swigs applejack to remove the taste, then goes for the jelly beans*
Beth: This is so good! It works so well! The rich creaminess of the soup and of ice cream go perfectly together.” *eats three scoops* “Even the frozen chunks of mushroom are perfectly acceptable to me, and I dislike frozen berries in ice cream. I must not eat only mushroom ice cream for dinner… But it’s so good!”
Cheryl: *takes a bite* “That was…” *slips remains of ice cream into trash can* “The mushrooms don’t really work with the sugar. I think the earthiness needs to go with something else. We should try chocolate-dipped mushrooms.”
Yelena: “I’m too scared to even try it.”
Unwholesome Foods 
Perhaps creamed corn instead?
We may need to try that one. We’re also thinking about caramelized onion ice cream and broccoli-cheddar ice cream.
Ooo….
I dunno, I think without the sugar this would probably be tasty. Well, maybe not “tasty,” but not chunks-blowingly awful, either. You could totally have a really pretentious dinner party and pretend you’re serving haute cuisine.
Gosh never heard of mushroom soup icecream , if you’ve invented it then I would like to applaud for the great thought ! Surely it looks yummy but I’m not sure about the taste!

This is the BEST cream of mushroom soup I’ve ever had. I did thicken it with a bit more flour than the recipe called for as I like a thicker cream of mushroom soup, but other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing. Definitely making this again and again.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Appreciate it
