Ingredients

1 cup cornstarch (or 16 tablespoons)
8 tsp chicken bouillon
4 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 ½ tsp onion powder
2 ½ tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

Making The Mix

Add all of the dry seasonings to a medium-sized bowl. Slowly whisk the dried seasonings together. (Be careful because the corn starch is very powdery.)
Store the cream of anything soup mix in an airtight container. (A wide-mouth pint jar is the perfect size.)
This recipe makes enough mix to replace 9 cans of cream of anything soup.

To Use Cream of Anything Soup Mix

For every 1 can of cream of soup, melt 1 ½ tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, slowly whisk in 1 cup of milk and 2.5 tablespoons of the cream of soup mix.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly until the soup thickens to your desired consistency. Be careful to avoid scalding.
If you are adding additional flavors, do so now.
Use this mix anywhere a recipe calls for a can of cream of anything soup.

Notes

OPTIONAL VARIATIONS:

Cream of Mushroom Soup: Saute ⅓ cup of diced fresh mushrooms in a small amount of butter or oil until softened. Add to the mix after it has thickened. Alternatively, add 1 tablespoon of dehydrated powder.

Cream of Celery Soup: Follow the same directions and quantities as the mushrooms, but use diced fresh celery or dehydrated celery powder instead.

Cream of Broccoli Soup: Follow the same directions and quantities as the mushrooms, but use diced fresh broccoli or dehydrated broccoli powder instead.

Optional For Cream of Chicken Soup: For even more chicken flavor, add ¼ to ⅓ cup pre-cooked, shredded chicken.
