I just recently made my own. I make a roux with cornstarch and margarine 1 tbsp of each. then add half a cup of milk (I use 2%, but skim would work too), and half a cup of water. A little salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Allow to thicken over low to medium heat, until it's the consistency of the cream of mushroom/chicken/celery soup. I used mine as a base for beef stroganoff, and it worked beautifully. If you wanted you could also add some sauteed mushrooms, but I didn't I didn't miss them.
