Something New To Try...

Hello there!  How are you today?

Doing well here, just trying to get my week organized and planned.

I only have a few things planned and I'm so thankful

I won't be out of the house non-stop this week.

After all I'm a homemaker and I love to be at home!

Do you gals like to purchase cream soups from the store?

I always have them in my pantry for my easy go to recipes.

But, have you ever tried making your 

own cream soup mix ins before?

I found this handy dandy recipe several years ago

and I love that it's a dry mixture.

Plus, it's fun to experiment, right??

So what you need to make your own dry cream soups is...

2 cups dry milk

3/4 cup cornstarch

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp black pepper

Mix all together and store in a mason jar.

Now for the soups...

Combine 1/3 cup of the mixture with 1 1/4 cups water into a saucepan.

Whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, cook for about 2 minutes, stir.

Remove from heat. Cool.

For Cream of Chicken: use 1 1/4 cups chicken broth

 instead of the water in above recipe.

For Cream of Mushroom: use 1 1/4 cups water, 

add in 1/4 cup diced cooked mushrooms to the soup base.

For Cream of Celery: use 1 1/4 cup water,

 add in 1/4 cup diced cooked celery to soup base.

I double the dry soup mix, since I have a larger family.

And the bonus to this mix is, it eliminates all the 

other soup cans from your pantry!

Easy Peasy! 

I made up some of the cream of chicken soup...

It tastes just like the canned soup, but much better for you!

Win...Win... if you ask me!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week...

Thanks for stopping in!

Hugs & Blessings,
