Tips
This base mix can be used to make several different flavors of cream of anything soup.
To make a cream of anything soup, combine 1 cup milk or water with 1/3 cup of the dry mix over low heat, whisking until smooth and thickened.
For different flavors, consider adding 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli (cream of broccoli), 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (cream of cheddar), 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast (cream of chicken), 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cream of mushroom), or 1/2 cup finely diced celery (cream of celery).
