One thing in life that I'm passionate about is cooking. I love trying new recipes, and jazzing up old. I love cooking my "winter" meals, such as tator tot hot dish, creamy chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumpling soup, swiss steak, stroganoff. All of these yummy meals have one common ingredients...some type of cream based soup. Yes, I know...not the healthiest form of cooking. I recently stumbled on a recipe called "cream of anything" soup. It's a mixture of dry ingredients, when water is added viola! Cream of whatever soup! I had the chance to try it out on some tuna noodle casserole the other night, and it turned out great! This recipe is a great alternative to cream based soups. The sodium content is much lower than traditional cream based soup. Did I mention it's cheaper!?
1 cup non-fat dried milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup bouillon cubes
4 Tablespoons freeze dried minced onions (I used the minced onions from Sam's Club)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme (I couldn't find the thyme so I used dried parsley instead)
1 teaspoon pepper
(For the equivalent of one can of condensed cream soup, mix 1/3 cup dry mix with 1 1/4 cup water. Cook until thick)
Feel free to add ingredients as needed: mushrooms, chicken, celery, potato, etc!
