Never run out of Cream of Anything Soup again!

Speaking of blending, a quick tip for nearly instant soup in a heat safe, high speed blender... Dice up a veggie, (or a mix of them) toss them raw into your blender, add some of the mix, some boiled water, and run on high speed for 3-5 minutes. (Add extra oats if you want it thicker.) My favorites...cream of celery, cream of potato, cream of mushroom, spinach, asparagus, onion, garlic, a mix... you get the idea!

Hi, do you remember which brand of the instant rice you used in this video? Thanks for the cream of anything soup...

[@happyJan2516]

Hi there, I don’t know if you will get this comment 2 years after this video, but my goodness me WHAT a game changer this simple recipe is! I am gluten free and so often have to overlook crockpot/casserole/sheet pan recipes as soon as i see the ‘cream of…soups’ going in, especially chicken or mushroom. I want to just thank you so much for this, and of course your channel which i have found by accident, and subscribed! Watching and following from the uk 😊 xxx

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

I got the comment!

[@antonyserio1564]

I just made this using chickpea flour as a substitute for powdered milk. I don't have a problem with powdered milk, it's just hard to find and expensive nowadays. Anyhow, the end result was amazingly rich, creamy and delicious. Also, I loved the "Open the pod bay doors, Hal" exchange that you had with your smart device. Priceless!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Hahah! I should try it with chickpea!

[@sisteradmn]

did you leave the cornstarch in with the powdered milk replaced?

[@bevzemaitis134]

I have tried this recipe and absolutely love it!Even my kids love this mix in the different recipes I put it in!I will never buy cream of chicken soup again from a can. Can’t wait to try to make cream of celery or cream of mushroom, thank you for sharing this recipe!!!❤️

[@beanetricemcdaniel6853]

How do you make the celery? Or did you make it? Please share

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! The seasonings are similar to what I use in my tomato soup; I also use chicken broth & evaporated milk, so when soup weather gets here (mid October at the earliest for me, as feeling chilly has been rare for about 20 years 🥵), I'm going to try this instead of the evap milk. I think I'll make putting the mix together easier on me by putting all of the ingredients into a bowl, whisking it all together, and _then_ use a funnel to pour it into the jar; maybe double the recipe for a quart jar. No more store bought soup! 😊

I will try it. I am on a journey to eliminate processed food. Scratch has so much taste and is better. Need to get a few ingredients I am out of.

[@honeypie2555]

I used this recipe but substituted the bio engineered corn starch (that brand is bio engineered. Read the label.) with bulk natural arrowroot powder. I couldn't find powdered mushrooms so I bought some canned mushrooms I'll add (blended) if I want to make cream of mushroom soup. I also added some instant potatoes for a thickener. I added some dried chives, celery seed, garlic powder and cumin seeds for extra flavor too. So I'll add two cups of boiling water to 1 cup of mix when I make it. And for cream of celery just add sautéed chopped celery, onion and maybe carrot also.(blended) Lots of variations of course. Thanks! This is a great convivence for the pantry and a good way to avoid bio engineered Campbells soups. This could be turned into tomato soup too if you added some tomato powder. I hear regular milk powder has a shelf life of 6 months but non fat milk has a shelf life of 1 year. If you wanted a longer shelf life just leave out the milk powder and add fresh milk when you make it. (Or even evaporated milk.)

[@Mystress1980]

Oh, stop with the GMO buzzword scares. It's been proven repeatedly to be no different than selective breeding. Seedless grapes aren't naturally occurring. Bananas, broccoli and cauliflower aren't either. Would you call a kid conceived via IVF not human? Just because it doesn't happen all by itself, out in the wild, doesn't make it BAD. In fact, it's making foods more resistant to things like drought, so there can be a whole lot less starving people in the world. The whole "organic" and "Non-GMO" thing is just a money grab and you're falling for it. The amount of charlatans out there, acting like they know what they're talking about is infuriating, and it makes decent folks like you confused as to what the truth actually is, and they scare you into buying unnecessarily expensive items. Campbell's is bad for you because it's loaded with fat and salt, not because it's got some ingredients that got a boost courtesy of scientists who've spent their whole careers studying this stuff.

How much "anything" do you add to the cream soup mixture. You used 1/3 cup of the dry mix, 1 cup of boiling water and ? amt of chicken/whatever cream of soup you are making. Also, how would you prepare the "anything?" Your chicken was cooked, no surprise... but, how would you prepare your celery, mushroom, etc? Saute, or something else? Thanks!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Mix 1/3 cup of mix with 1 cup of boiling water. That was for about 1 can of soup. I would so a light saute with the other things before adding... with buttah ;)

I cook rice as normal and then dehydrate it to use as instant rice. I think that it’s the same as Minute Rice but I’ve never eaten minute rice so I can’t say for sure.

@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking . I don’t time anything cause it’s very variable in Oklahoma with the humidity. I just wait til it’s dry and hard. It’s so convenient to have around.
