Cream-of-Whatever Soup Mix
(Makes equivalent of 9 cans)

 2 c  Powdered nonfat milk
 3/4 c  Cornstarch
 1/4 c  Instant chicken bouillon
 2 tb Dried onion flakes
 1 ts Basil leaves
 1 ts Thyme leaves
 1/2 ts Pepper

NOTE:  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!    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 a saucepan.  Cook
and stir until thickened. Add to casseroles as you would the canned
product. Makes equivalent of 9 cans of soup. Source: The New American
Diet, c1986
 

 Alison's Note:  I have been using this for several months and it works
great.  If you want to make cream of mushroom or cream of chicken, or
whatever, just add some chopped mushrooms or chicken (or whatever) to
 the recipe.  My only caution is to make sure you STIR constantly while
 you're thickening it on the stove.  Otherwise it may scorch. I
 basically just bring it to a boil (while stirring), let it boil for
 20-30 seconds, and take it off the heat.  Using this mix has saved me a
 fortune!  Plus it's fat-free and has less sodium than good old
 Campbell's!
