- 0.25 cup Chicken bouillon powder (or vegetable bouillon powder for vegetarian use)
- 2 tablespoons Dried minced onion
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the nonfat dry milk powder, cornstarch, chicken or vegetable bouillon powder, dried minced onion, parsley flakes, basil, thyme, and ground black pepper.
2. Whisk all the ingredients together until well blended and no clumps remain.
3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar for storage. Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
4. To use as a substitute for one can of cream of soup in a recipe: Combine 1/3 cup of the dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of water in a small saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps.
5. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This will yield about 1 1/2 cups, which is equivalent to one 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of soup.
