    Recipe Introduction


    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 for use!

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups nondairy powdered nonfat milk
    3/4 cups cornstarch
    1/4 cup vegetable bullion
    2 Tblsp dried onion flakes
    1 tsp basil leaves
    1 tsp thyme leaves
    1/2 tsp. pepper (opt)

    Recipe



    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 c of dry mix with 1 1/4 c of cold water in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened. Add to casserole as you would the canned product. Makes equivalent of 9 cans of soup. Vary the spices to suit your own taste or the type of casserole you were making. Yield 9 servings with less than 1 GM fat per serving.

    Variations:
    Mushroom Soup: Add 1/2 c finely chopped mushrooms
    Celery Soup: Add 1/2 c minced celery
    Potato Soup: Add 1 c diced potatoes, cooked
    Vegetable Soup: Add 3/4 c mixed vegetables, cooked
    Broccoli Soup: Add 1 c chopped broccoli, cooked
    Asparagus Soup: Add 1 c chopped asparagus, cooked
