Mushroom pasta cooked with Campbell’s mushroom soup is one of my kids’ favorite lunch meals. I normally add in 2 punnets of fresh button mushrooms, onions and sometimes chopped carrots. This time, I cooked it with pan fried fish, to pump up their protein and DHA intake.
After briefly pan-frying the fish in a non-stick pan (lid covered as I hate oil splatters), I added water and 2 sachets of Campbell’s mushroom soup powder into the pot (with the fish in it) and let it boil. Once the powder is diluted and water boiling, I added the fresh button mushrooms. Let it simmer for about 15 mins to bring out the mushrooms flavor. Then, I added 1 box of whipping cream / thickened cream (you can replace it with fresh milk or powdered milk, which is less costly) and 2 slices of cheese.
Preparation time is about 1 hour. There goes my precious 1 hour but it’s worth all the time spent and sweat. As long as the kids love my homecooked food, time spent is immaterial ♥
Verdict : kids LOVED it ♥

I have never spent an hour fixing lunch! You are a good mum! I may spend an hour making dinner on a weekend. Just one little suggestion, and not to say the kids cannot handle the calories, but sub cream with evaporated milk. Have started doing this and no one seems to mind. I use that for my mac-n-cheese.
Hey Chris, tks for the suggestion. I love the taste of evaporated milk and it’s way way cheaper than whipping cream! Shall try that soon!
i cook this once in a while. sometimes i use prego’s mushroom carbonara instead. i also add mushrooms and pan fried salmon for ash. she likes it a lot 🙂
Mushroom dishes is one of zihan must have dish. I normally use grapeseed oil, a lot if chopped garlic, fresh mixed mushroom, and a bit o salt to stir fry. And freeze them in portions. Then eat it with pasta or rice. Your mushroom pasta should taste very nice without the campbell soup mix, because the thickened cream can do the same. 🙂
