Made a wonderful cream of chicken soup. Was a bit salty, but when adding to another recipe, you should be able to reduce the saltiness. Thank you for sharing!

Y'know, I like to think I'm a decent cook until I run into INGENIUS recipes like this one. Now I hang my head in your shadow! I was a little short on the instant bouillon so when I rehydrated I used organic chicken broth (which is much less salty than the regular) instead of water and it was delicious. I actually prefer this to the cans not only for cost effectiveness but because it doesn't have that heavy "soupy" flavor you so often get in casseroles. Thank you soooo much!

This recipe has really solved a problem for me... lots of nice looking recipes on this site featuring " a can of cream of..." and none of these "can of cream of's..." available here. No onion flakes available here either that I could find, but I made a double mixture of the rest because without the E numbers and msg etc this recipe is an excellent addition to my pantry. All I have to do is mince celery, or onion etc and add it to substitute exactly what I need. I did add 1 T more cornflour (cornstarch)to my mix because it didn't thicken quite as much as I needed for the first recipe I needed it in... now it's perfect. My only problem now: finding time to try out many of the recipes on this site that use this...LOL. Please see my rating system: a well deserved 5 stars. Thanks !!!

THANK YOU for this GREAT RECIPE! I have a really bad allergy to MSG, so can't use canned cream soups and have gotten really bored with trying to "fix" a plain white sauce to sub for cream soups in recipes! This is a really easy way to have the convenience of canned cream soups on hand without worry! This recipe is also very easy to "tweak" for whatever background flavor you're going for (ie: mushroom, celery) just by playing with what you add to the base.
