You Will Need:
- 2 cups of dry milk, non-fat okay
- ¼ cup of chicken bouillon
- ¾ cup of corn starch
- 1 Tablespoons of dried onion
- 1 Teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 Teaspoon of dried basil leaves
- Salt and Pepper in the bag or after.
Directions:
- Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly – I like to use a whisk.
- Put into a tightly sealed bag or container. Store in a cool dry place, best if used within six months.
- To make the equivalent of one can of soup, use 1/3 cup of the mix with about 1 ¼ cups of water.
- Heat over stove until thickened, whisking all the while. For the microwave it takes 1 to 3 minutes. Stop it at one minute intervals and stir. For a casserole, you can use it dry and just add the appropriate amount of water.
This basic recipe can save you a lot of money over time, stores wonderfully, and can be dressed up or used as a base for numerous recipes.
Makes of equivalent of 6-7 cans of “cream of” soup. You can add onion, chicken, mushrooms, potatoes about whatever you want to this basic recipe.
Wifey here…it’s now printed out and in my recipe binder (which is now about 3″ thick!).
