Use in place of your favorite can of cream soup

2 cups dry milk

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup chicken bouillon granules

2 Tablespoons dried onion flakes, optional (or I use onion powder)

1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil, optional

1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, optional

1/2 teaspoon ground marjoram, optional

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 to 3 teaspoons butter

COMBINE all ingredients except butter together and store in airtight container. 

TO USE: Combine 1/2 cup dry soup mix with 1 1/4 cups water in a glass bowl. Microwave until thick; add butter. This is equal to one can cream soup.  

The mix makes enough to equal 9 to 10 cans. For cream of mushroom or celery soup, add chopped sauté mushrooms or celery along with the butter while cooking. I like to add the optional ingredients but I use only a pinch of oregano.
