Low Sodium/Low Fat Cream of Soup Mix Substitute

I use this in place of cans of cream of chicken soup. I make it vegetarian by using a mock-chicken bouillon. The cooking time at the end is important to thicken the soup. If you're just dumping it in with other things, I tend to use only 1 cup of water to eliminate the cooking.

• Ready In: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules (Use vegetarian mock-chicken bouillon to make this recipe vegetarian.)

1. Combine all ingredients and store in airtight container.
2. To substitute for one can of soup, combine 1/3 cup of the mix and 1-1/4 cups cold water.
3. Whisk well, and cook and stir over medium heat until thickened.
4. Vegetables sauteed in a little water and then drained are wonderful added to this soup to make "cream of -- ". Substitute tomato juice for the water for a tomato cream.
