so, I'm not into 'Cream of ____' soups.
I don't know.
I just cringe when I see it in a recipe and I cringe even harder when I use it.
it just doesn't look right.
it doesn't look like food anyway - human food.
I found this recipe online today and got so excited I just had to share.
Will be replacing my 'cr of's' with this:
Ingredients:
2 cups dry milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes, optional
1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil, optional
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, optional
1/2 teaspoon ground marjoram, optional
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 to 3 teaspoons butter
Preparation:Combine all ingredients except butter together and store in airtight container. To use, mix 1/2 cup dry soup mix with 1 1/4 cups water and cook until thick; add butter. This is equal to one can cream soup. The mix makes enough to equal 9 to 10 cans. For cream of mushroom or celery soup, add chopped saute mushrooms or celery along with the butter while cooking.
I'll keep you posted....I know, you can't wait....me either!
