My Grandma always kept this cream of anything soup mix in her pantry and, let's face it, every other recipe in the church cookbooks called for a can. As a kid I never understood why she wouldn't just buy a can. As an adult, I get it. Make your dollar stretch AND you control all that goes in it. Adjust to suit your taste but this is the basic recipe that works.
Ingredients
- 2 cups nonfat dry milk
- 0.75 cups cornstarch
- 0.25 cups chicken bouillon powder
- 2 tablespoons onions
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
-
1
Place 1 cup instant nonfat dry milk in a 1-liter mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.
-
2
Add cornstarch, bouillon powder, minced onion, parsley, and pepper. Screw the lid on and shake until evenly combined.
-
3
Add remaining cup dry milk. Screw the lid back on and shake again. Store in a cool, dark pantry until ready to use.
-
4
To use: When a recipe calls for 1 can of condensed cream of soup, add 1/3 cup dry mix to a small saucepan. Whisk in 1 cup cold water.
-
5
Place saucepan over medium high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; set aside for 5 minutes to cool and thicken. Use as you would for a recipe that calls for one can of soup.

Fresh Fruit Salad
I was looking for a light meal for brunch and decided to toss every type of fruit I had in the house into a yogurt-based salad for lunch. It went over well with my lunch guest who is a fussy eater. My sister actually asked for seconds. The nice thing about this is you make what you need at the time and don't have to bother with leftovers. However, it does keep well for a few days as long as it is refrigerated. Serve in individual dishes with crackers.
