I'll be the first trouble maker with a Q.

I substitute cream of mushroom with cream of chicken.  To fortify the flavor, I'll add one beef cube per can of co chicken

  If a lot of liquid,  an envelope of onion soup mix.  This results in the co chicken soup going liquidy, and not being as thick and creamy as it came out of the can.  

Its as if the thickener in the co chicken broke down.  This happens if using beef cubes, onion soup, and today better than bouillon paste.  

Whats up all you little Alton wannabes?

Compromise is the key.

Could be the salt in the cube. Salt can extract water so the solids become dryer and more water into the sauce.

My guess is that something in the cube or soup mix denatures the soy proteins acting as emulsifiers in the cream of chicken, thereby losing the intended effect.
