Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Love your kitchen! So bright and light. Wish mine was like that.
Aww thanks. One of these days I’ll have to show the gorgeous custom tile designs in full on the floor.
Thank u so much for this soup base receipe. A big help if unwant to avoid paying for a can of chemicals!
Love this recipe if I was to make this base in bulk what would the measurements be for 4, 6 or 8 servings?
1/3 cup dry mix to 1 1/4 cup liquid is for two servings. So 4 servings would be 2/3 cup dry mix to 2 1/2 cups liquid, 6 servings would be 1 cup mix to 3 3/4 cups liquid and 8 servings would be 1 1/3 cups dry to 5 cups liquid.
Thanks so much😊
Hi,
I love that you have so many Cream of choices. I was looking for Cream of Broccoli, and BAM! just like a genie you granted my wish. For the 1/2 cup of broccoli, is that fresh or dehydrated (Crossing fingers for dehydrated)? Since you have so many choices, that question goes for the other 1/2 cups of ingredients as well. Thank you for putting the work in and sharing. Have a great day!
Awesome. I’m new to dehydrating but I had to look and it’s 1/4-1/2 cup broccoli dehydrated. 1/4 cup is the minimum since it’s been dehydrated so you can scale it from there to how heavy you want it.
Yum! I love the idea of making my own soup. Any ideas for Cream of Onion? Thanks!
⅓ cup cream of anything soup mix (recipe below if needed)
1 ½ cups water or milk (for a creamier texture, use half milk and half cream)
½ cup finely chopped onions (yellow or sweet onions work best)
1 tbsp butter or oil (optional, for sautéing onions)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or thyme for added depth
I haven’t tried this yet but any suggestions for a GF/DF substitution?
If I used evaporated milk in place of powder, adjusting measurements, would that work do you think? As an immediate use thing. I’m wanting to make cream of mushroom soup without cow milk for green bean casserole. I know I can get evaporated goats milk at my local grocery store so I’m wondering if I could go that route and do a mix of beef broth and goat milk for the liquid usually used the GBC. If you think it wouldn’t work I can get some powdered goat milk instead.
I’d try this instead. 8 ounces fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons onions, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 -3 tablespoons flour (separated)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup evaporated milk
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
Cut the mushrooms into slices.
Melt butter in large frying pan. Add in onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until onions are soft.
Blend in 2 T. flour and stir.
Add in the chicken broth and heat until slightly thickened while stirring frequently.
Stir evaporated milk with additional 1 T. flour and seasonings. Add in evaporated milk to soup. Heat to thicken while stirring frequently.
That would take the place of the can of soup in your recipe.
