- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dry milk powder, and cornstarch until well combined.
Add the chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Store the dry soup mix in an airtight container or jar. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months in a cool, dry place.
To use as a substitute for one can of condensed cream of soup, combine 1/3 cup of the dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of cold water in a small saucepan.
Whisk continuously over medium heat until the mixture thickens and reaches a consistency similar to store-bought condensed soup. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Use immediately in your recipe, or allow it to cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
