Dry soup mix

DIY Cream of Anything Soup Mix  (beef, chicken, or veggie flavor, etc.)

Have you ever looked at the back of a can of cream of chicken soup? Maybe not, but I just did. There are 22 ingredients–a couple I can’t even pronounce, ugh. I decided it was time to try a simple, DIY cream soup mix and feel a little better about what I’m using as my go-to cream soup. And, as a bonus, this can be made plain, allowing you to add in beef, chicken, or veggie flavor when needed. Double bonus, it works out to about 65¢ per “can” of prepared mix!

Cream of Anything Dry Soup Mix

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Powdered Milk
  • 3/4 cup Corn Starch
  • 1/4 cup Bouillon Granules of your choice
  • 1/4 cup Onion Powder
  • 1 t. Thyme
  • 1 t. Basil
  • Up to 1 t. Pepper to taste
  • Dash of Salt if using low sodium bouillon

Instructions

  1. Shake all ingredients in a container. That’s it!
  2. To use, whisk 1/3 cup soup mix with 1 1/4 cup water, and simmer until thickened to desired consistency.
  3. You don’t have to simmer this alone, add it to your veggies or meat at the end of their cooking time, and continue with your recipe as usual.

Recipe Notes

You can omit bouillon in the recipe above to make a plain mix. Then, to use, simply whisk a scant 1/3 cup of soup mix with 2 t. of any flavor bouillon granules and 1 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened to desired consistency.



The Frugal Bonus:

This recipe replaces a little more than six cans of cream soup and costs $3.88 (at the time of this writing), or 65¢ per “can”. We buy generic powdered milk because hey, milk is milk! And, we get our spices in bulk at Sam’s Club. Here’s the cost break down:

Milk $2

Corn Starch 54¢

Bouillon 70¢

Onion 46¢

Thyme 9¢

Basil 9¢

= $3.88 total or 65¢ per “can”

So, I challenge you to shake up a batch to keep in the pantry, and next time you need a couple of cans of cream of anything soup, whisk up this fast, frugal, and healthier version instead.

#ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree i #ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree is not out of reach. If you have a dream, you can make it happen. I know from experience. I could not have gotten my degree without loans, grants, and scholarships. It all starts with completing your #FAFSA. And, don't think you make too much money to receive aid. Most people who complete the FAFSA receive some kind of aid! The sooner you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the better. Some states offer aid on a first come, first served basis.
