Recipe Introduction
Fill a jar for hostess gifts or company.
List of Ingredients
1 c. nonfat dried milk powder
1 T. dried onion flakes
2 T. cornstarch
2 T. chicken or beef bouillon powder
1/2 t. dried basil
1/2 t. dried thyme
1/4 t. black pepperRecipe
Mix well and store in a pretty, airtight jar.
Decorate the container with colorful ribbon and put in a basket (I love to recycle these) lined with a cloth holiday napkin.
You can add other items to the basket that would be useful in making or serving the soup.
Some suggestions: A mixing spoon, soup ladle, potholder or soup mug.
Prepare this cream soup recipe in a saucepan by adding 2 cups (1-1/2 if you want it thicker) or cold water to the dry soup mix, stir well and cook over medium heat until thickened--you must stir continuously or it will scorch on the bottom. Once thickened, it's time to add the zing to the base.
For instance, adding broccoli will make a yummy cream of broccoli soup or add mushrooms or chicken, or chop up some of those leftovers in the fridge.
