Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Instant nonfat dry milk powder
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken bouillon powder (or vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian option)
- 2 cups Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon Dried basil
- 1 tablespoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant nonfat dry milk powder, all-purpose flour, chicken or vegetable bouillon powder, cornstarch, dried onion flakes, dried basil, dried thyme, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or Mason jar for storage. Label and date your container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
To use the mix, combine 1/3 cup of the dry soup mix with 1 1/4 cups of water in a saucepan. Whisk well to prevent lumps.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Use the base as a substitute for canned cream soups in recipes, or add cooked meat, vegetables, or seasonings to customize the soup to your preference.
