Homemade Cream of Mushroom (or whatever) Soup Recipe

[Alexandra]

If you do not have or don't care to use Cream of XYZ, is it possible to make a substitution? Do you have one you really like and would care to share?

Thanks

I made up this recipe - it's good. Of course i realized the other day i had to COOK IT first to use on the crockpot meal i was doing! LOL!! But, we have liked the stuff i've made with it - better than the canned stuff.

 

Cream of ____ Soup Mix

 

I liked having everything ready to just add water too and go.

Cream soup mix

 

2 c. nonfat dry milk

3/4 c. cornstarch

2 TB dried onion

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp. dried basil

1/8 c. instant chicken bouillon

1/8 c. instant beef bouillion

 

to reconstitute

in saucepan combine 1/3 c. of the mix above and 1 1/4 c. cold water. Stir over low heat until thickened. Equivalent to 1 c. condensed soup.

 

I use this with potato soup allt the time.

Use 2/3 cup of the mix.

2 1/2 c milk

6 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

3 carrots , peeled and cut into chunks

 

cook potatoes and carrots in a coverd pot of water until tender. Set aside.

Combine the cream soup mix and milk, cook over low heat stirring constantly until thickened.

Add potatoes and carrots and 1 c. of the water they were cooked in. Heat thoroughly.
