Tips

  • To make 1 can of soup, combine 1/3 cup cream mix, 1 cup broth or water, and 1/2 cup add-ins of choice. Warm over medium heat until it thickens, keeping a close eye on it to prevent sticking to the bottom. It will thicken more as it cools.
  • Different flavor variations for add-ins include: diced/cooked chicken, diced mushrooms, diced celery, diced/cooked potato, diced/cooked beef, diced/cooked broccoli, shredded cheese, cooked/crumbled bacon, diced/pureed tomato, or 1/2 cup anything you want.
