Many delicious recipes call for cream of something soup. The condensed versions are loaded with salt and MSG, and if you have bought any recently, they aren’t cheap. Did you know that you can make it at home? This way you can control some of the salt (it is still in the bouillon), and you can save yourself some cash, and a trip to the market, I detest going to the store for one ingredient. Have I mentioned that it is SUPER EASY?! Give it a try! Also, this condensed version is gluten free, which is great news for those who can’t use the regular red and white cans of cream of condensed soup.

This recipe replaces one standard size can of cream of condensed soup (not family size).

**Tip for high blood pressure folks or those watching their sodium intake: omit the bouillon, and when you make the soup (the mixing with water step, at the very end), instead of water, use low sodium broth.

** Tip for gluten free diets: double check that the bouillon you use does not contain gluten, some brands do use it in bouillon.

To make your lives even easier, I made this easy little text box, which you can feel free to print and keep with your soup mix.
