Make Ahead Cream of Chicken Soup Mix

Well, I have another Make Ahead Mix for you this week.  This money saving mix is great to have when you run out of canned cream soup or when you are trying to save a few dollars on groceries.

Here's the recipe for the Make Ahead Cream of Chicken Soup Mix

2 cups nonfat dry milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chicken bouillon powder or soup base
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
Mix all the above ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

When you are ready to use the mix in a recipe (in place of 1 can of cream of chicken soup), combine 1/3 cup of mix and 2/3 cup of water in a sauce pan.  Cook (STIRRING CONSTANTLY) until thickened.  It only takes about 2 minutes on a gas stove.

Cream soups can be costly and this is a great alternative.

If you're looking for some other time and money saving ideas for the kitchen, be sure to check out all my other Make Ahead Mixes HERE and check back for another "Make Ahead" idea next week.

Blessings,
