I don’t normally buy cream soups, so this is perfect for me to keep on hand for cooking. I had some cubed steaks in the freezer from our 1/2 cow that we bought. I put them in the crockpot with the soup made from this mix. They were so good!
When we have deer meat, I also like to cook it in the crockpot with this cream soup. Sometimes deer meat will have a gamey taste, but cooking in milk takes the gamey taste away.
Cream of Whatever Soup
2 cups instant milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Combine these and store in an airtight container.
To use for soup, combine 1/3 C mix and 1-1/2 C water. Bring to a boil while stirring often. Add a vegetable for more flavor, such as diced celery, sliced mushrooms , or some diced broccoli.
This mix can be substituted in any recipe calling for canned cream soup. Mix 1/3 cup mix with 1 1/4 cups water. Boil for a few minutes, stirring well to prevent sticking.

i bookmarked this! I have always wanted to make homemade cream of soups, but I can't fathom the idea of adding an extra step to everything. This is PERFECT. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting this! I NEED this recipe, as there are several in our family who have gluten issues (commercial soups contain wheat flour to thicken). I will need to substitute arrow root powder for the corn starch, as I am corn-intolerant, but this recipe sounds WONDERFUL!
Won’t happen. Bloc has a pretty hard right wing that doesn’t like leftists. They also don’t like federalist and they don’t like Dion. Expect a mass defection from Blue Bloc MPs to the Tories. I think Liberal MPs from rural ridings would get quite the ear full from their constitutients.
I've been hoping to find a recipe like this. THanks for sharing! I can't wait to try it out.

Oh my–thank you! I can't have wheat flour and get so frustrated whenever a recipe calls for cream of something soup. This will be a lifesaver!
