Homemade "Cream" Soup Author: girl_chef Date: 1998/11/05 Forums: rec.food.cooking
To use in place of canned cream soups in casseroles or as a base for your own soups. Much lower in fat and salt than the canned versions. The trick is to have it made up ready to use!
2 cups powdered nonfat milk 3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup (or less) instant vegetable boullion 2 tbsp. dried onion flakes 1 tsp. basil leaves 1 tsp. thyme leaves 1/2 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
To substitute for one can of condensed soup:
Combine 1/3 cup of dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of cold water in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened. Add to casserole as you would the canned product.
Makes equivalent of 9 cans of soup. Vary the spices to suit your own taste or the type of casserole you were making.
Yield 9 servings with less than 1-gram fat per serving.
Variations:
Mushroom Soup: Add 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms Celery Soup: Add 1/2 cup minced celery Potato Soup: Add 1 cup diced potatoes, cooked Vegetable Soup: Add 3/4 cup mixed vegetables, cooked Broccoli Soup: Add 1 cup chopped broccoli, cooked Asparagus Soup: Add 1 cup chopped asparagus, cooked
