Cream of Something Soup Mix

Here’s a ‘wet’ ready to go version and a ‘dry’ version to keep in your pantry! Use either in place of those recipes that call for Cream of.. Soups.

Ready to go Cream of Something Soup

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup main ingredient, diced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup broth

Saute garlic, onion and main ingredient (mushrooms, chicken, celery, etc.) and set aside. Melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add “milk” and broth. Add sauteed garlic, onion and main ingredient. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring regularly, until it reaches desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
