I use this recipe all the time for any cream soups! It's super quick to whip up and tastes marvelous! I like to leave out the dried onion flakes and use vegetarian bouillon powder, but much less than the 1/4 cup called for. It's great to adjust this recipe to suit your own tastes! This recipe is totally awesome with some chopped mushrooms for vegetarian mushroom gravy! Thank you for posting!

This is wonderful! I have made several casseroles with it and they were all great. My children like the soup better than the canned version. Not only does it save a ton of money, it is so easy to prepare. Takes just a couple of minutes. AWESOME! thanks for the recipe.

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.
