4 cups Carnation nonfat dried milk
1-1/2 cups Argo cornstarch
1 cup Croydon House chicken soup powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. black pepper
Combine all ingredients until mixed well. Label and keep mixture stored in a capped jar in your cabinet.
To make your own homemade creamed soups, combine 1/2 cup dry creamed soup mixture, 1-1/2 cups cold water, and 1 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, while stirring. Add any of the following ingredients to customize it, or use your creative imagination to make others.
If you want to make a smooth creamed soup, make sure the ingredients are all pureed in a blender on high, but never fill a blender over 1/2 to 3/4 full.
If you like some texture to your creamed soups, just don't puree the ingredients.
