Quick and Easy Cream Soup Mix
By Rebecca Garcia
Hands up and confess! How many of you settle for convenience – open a can of soup, add milk, heat and eat? Well, that seems like a perfect solution for most people but if I were you, I rather not slurp that bowl of high sodium, high fat, MSG heavy canned soup.
There's nothing better than homemade soups and for those who lament over lack of time, here's a great basic cream soup mix recipe which can be used to make endless varieties of cream soup.
Not only it's healthy, low sodium, low fat and convenient, it's also economical. The entire cream soup mix makes about nine 10 ¾ ounce cans of cream soup!! Imagine the savings, folks!
So, make a batch ahead and store. Whenever you want a bowl of piping hot cream soup on those chilly nights, just scoop the required amount of dry cream soup mix, add enough water to cook and you're good to go!
