This one jar replaces seven cans of cream of whatever you usually buy at the store — cream of chicken, mushroom, celery, and more.
It’s made with simple pantry staples and saves money, space, and time. Here’s the recipe:
Dry Mix:
1 cup dry instant milk powder
¾ cup cornstarch (or arrowroot/potato starch)
¼ cup bouillon (homemade is best, or chicken if using store-bought)
⅛ cup minced onion flakes
1 tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
To use: Mix ⅓ cup of the dry mix with 1¼ cups of liquid (water, milk, or broth). Add whatever extras you need depending on the flavor you want (mushrooms, chicken, celery, etc.).
It gives you that creamy texture without the gloppy, processed stuff from the can. Great for casseroles, soups, pasta dishes, rice, and more.
