Cream of Anything Soup Mix

Cream of Anything Soup Mix -

Combine the following in a large mixing bowl.
2 cups powdered nonfat milk3/4 cup cornstarch1/4 cup(or less) instant chicken bullion2 Tblsp. dried onion flakes1 tsp. basil leaves1 tsp thyme1 tsp marjoram leaves 1/2 tsp. pepper Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. To sustitute for one can of condensed soup: Combine 1/3 cup of dry mix with 1 1/4 cups of cold water in saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened. Use in any recipe as you would the canned product. Makes equivalent of 9 cans of soup with less than 1 gram of fat per serving. Chicken bullion does contain salt and MSG, but much less than the premade canned varieties.

By adding sauteed mushrooms, this becomes cream of mushroom soup and by adding sauteed celery, this becomes cream of celery soup, and so on.

**Edit - The Amish Market in Largo sells MSG-free chicken bullion.**
