Make your own "Cream-of-Anything" Soup

I came across this recipe for making Cream-of-Anything soup from scratch on the Eating Well... Living Thin blog and I love having this option. It is easy, quick, and so much healthier than the sodium-filled cans at the grocery store. I use this recipe when making my Cheese and Brocoli Quonia Casserole.

Condensed “Cream of Anything” Soup

• 1 cup cold milk
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• dash of pepper

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, whisk milk and cornstarch till well blended.
2. Stir in butter, bouillon, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer on low for one minute more to thicken.

Use in recipes to replace one can of cream of anything soup.
