I am no longer using cream of chicken soup in a can. I make my own from a mix. I used to do it all the time as a young bride and I’m not really sure why I stopped. I think the recipe came out of a church/community cookbook. Here is the recipe for the soup mix. I will also put it on the website by itself!
2 cups non fat dry milk
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup chicken bouillon powder
1/2 tsp white pepper (black is totally fine if you don’t have white!)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
Mix all ingredients well and store in an airtight container. This recipe makes the equivalent of 9-10 cans of cream soup. Each serving or “can” is 6 points.
To make the soup – place 1/2 cup of mix in a small saucepan and slowly add 1 1/4 cup of water to pan while whisking. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
You can alter the taste to cream of mushroom, celery or potato by adding the appropriate dried vegetables. You can also chop fresh veggies very fine and saute and add to mix.
