I found this today (I cant remember where) and I made up a batch for dinner and added diced coked potatos. I could just eat the base it was so good. Here it is Fat Free Cream Soup Mix Submitted By: Kathy Posted On: [email protected] Print Friendly Version Servings: 1 2 cups powdered nonfat milk 3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup or less instant vegetable bouillon ( or chicken ) 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes 1 teaspoon basil leaves (optional) 1 teaspoon thyme leaves (optional) 1/2 teaspoon pepper Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Store in an airtight container until you are ready to use it. To substitute for one can of condensed soup, combine 1/3 cup of dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of cold water in a saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened, add to your casserole as you would canned products and the same thing for sauces and soups. If you don't want basil or thyme in the soup base, leave it out, if you want to substitute instant chicken bouillon for the vegetable, do it, be as creative as you want to be. This makes enough for 9 cans of soup. Variations of cream soups: 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 Chicken soup: add 1/2 to 1 cup cup finely diced chicken, cooked Mushroom with roasted garlic: add 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms and 1 to 2 roasted garlic cloves Tomato soup: add 1/2 to 1 cup finely chopped and seeded tomato Tomato potato soup: add 1/2 cup diced cooked potato and 1/2 cup finely diced and seeded tomato Chicken with herbs: add 1/2 to 1 cup finely diced chicken with additional herbs to your taste, parsley, oregano etc. Carrot soup: add 1 cup of cooked carrots and add to soup base puree in a blender for a nice creamy carrot soup, play around with this one until you reach the consistency you want. Roasted garlic soup: add 2 to 3 roasted garlic cloves and stir in well till blended ( I like garlic so I add more than that) Onion soup: add 1/2 cup of sauted chopped onions The varieties are endless, you just have to use your imagination and not be afraid to experiment with different ingredients
