It probably could. How about mixing a little butter and some cornflour into a paste and stirring that in? You'd need to make sure it was really worked in though. Or you could try one of those Homepride cook in sauces - they do a nice white wine one, you could add some mushrooms to that - I add some seedless grapes to it for chicken to make a sort of chicken veronique which can be nice

I bought the soup in my co-op for 65p a tin. Loads of fancy flavouors like parsnip and coriander. What happened to ordinary flavours?
Oh, I feel a moan coming on lol

I would try instant potato, bit by bit, stir it in unmade and it will thicken.
|
|
I would do what Neti said.
|
|

Personally, he's a blooming fusspot. He's convinced the soup with be runny.
Now, when I make home made lentil or veg soups, he likes them runny whereas I like them thick-ish.

Cornflower mixed with a little milk is ideal to thicken any sauce.
Campbell's condensed soups can still be found in some Supermarkets but more often it seems to be Batchelors, or the Supermarket's own label.
I often serve Sherry and Mushroom sauce....Just add a glass of medium sherry to the contents of the tin, a few twists of ground pepper and heat through. Guests sometimes ask how I made it and, when I tell them, they often think I am fooling.

No! It's been re-launched very recently as Campbells. There is a website if you don't believe me!

Ron, you seen the price of sherry?!!!
Young Alba doesns't like mushrooms, never has, so I keep telling him it's the dark meat of the chicken in the sauce.
In hindsight, I think I'll go with the cornflour route. We're having crooquettes with it so might be overdoing it with the spuds. Oh, and peas :)

Aunt Bessie make mash potato and this comes as round discs, 2" wide by 1/2" thick. A couple of these in soups thicken nicely.
