INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients and store in an air-tight container. Actually, a
cool whip container works great.
To use: combine 1/3 cup mix (stir before measuring) and 1 1/4 cups water.
Cook on low heat until thick. Mixture will be very thick and is equal to 1
can condensed "cream-of" soups.
Notes: If my recipe calls for cream of chicken soup, I often add about 1/4
cup finely chopped chicken/turkey to this. If my recipe calls for cream of
broccoli/asparagus/celery soup, I might puree some cooked vegetable and add
to it. (For broccoli...puree about a stalk of leftover broccoli; for
asparagus, use the drained juice and 2 stalks of canned; for celery, saute'
2 sliced stalks in margerine until tender.) Cream of mushroom...I drain a
small can of chopped mushrooms, add enough water to make 1 1/4 cups, and
then after all is thick, I add the mushrooms themselves. This is the one I
use most often....
Believe me, I've used this lots and lots. Cooking for a "heart" patient as
well as an "allergic" one...this recipe has good common items in it. It
won't work for the milk-allergic, but for peanut/salt/fat diet...it's
great.
And you know, it's a whole lot cheaper than the "cream of" soups that now
sell for about a dollar a can....
