Thanks for the recipe! It's an easy solution to canned soup. The taste and texture are very nice. I wanted cream of mushroom soup like it comes from the can for a casserole, so it was a little thin for that purpose. I will add twice the amount of cornstarch to the mix. I used 1/3 cup of the dry mix to 1 1/2 cups broth or water. This is a keeper. Carole in Orlando

I use this mix all the time. It is the best. I also use more cornstarch if I am just using it as a soup. I make cream of mushroom, celery, and mushroom as well as cream of veggie soup. I make up several batches and keep in a jar so it is fast and easy to use.

I've taken this camping with us a couple of times using as soup. Two other times I ended up reducing the amount of water and making more of a gravy with it and put it over meatballs, rice and even potatoes. Worked great, and much lighter than a can. I'm making a batch this week to take with us to Yellowstone. Thanks for the great find.

I mixed up a batch of this for my mother who is a fan of using canned creamed soups in recipes. She says that it works great, but sometimes needs to add a bit more cornstarch to get the desired consistency. This is a little lower in sodium than the traditional canned soups and a better choice for her diet.

Well, my second attempt was perfect. On my first try, I left the kitchen for "just a minute" which resulted in a burned mess. This was a great substitute for the canned soup called for in truebrits' Crockpot Cheesy Chicken & Ham #106666. Thanks!

I have not tried this recipe. My copy of this recipe I got from Pinching Your Pennies. It says to use Mix 1 14 c. cold water with 1/3 c. mix. The rest is the same. Thanks for posting. Christine (internetnut)

Thank you so much for posting this! I doubled the cornstarch per other reviewers, and wound up with a very tasty soup to add to a casserole dish. Much nicer, and MUCH cheaper than the canned version. I will use this often!!

OH MY I`m surpized at how easy and good this is!!! My husband likes those instant cup of soups and this is very close to them! I have a hot water dispenser so all I do is add hot water to the mix. I do think this recipe makes more then 2 cups! I just add 1 heaping tablespoon to a cup of hot water and its good to go! Quick and easy hits the spot when you need to take the chill out and don`t want coffee or tea.

This is great! I needed a quick mix for a soup for a casserole and this really came in handy. I will be keeping this in my cookbook. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
