Good. Can tweak seasonings and salt as desired. Thickens very well. I quit buying the canned stuff.

Very nice. It thickened well and tasted good. Next time I will use reduced sodium boullion.

I love to keep this on hand. I have opening a can of soup just to use half; this makes life much easier.

This recipe is just what I have been looking for. It starts out thin but thickens up nicely. For a can of soup mix, I use 1 1/3 cup of water to 1/3 cup of mix. Such a useful recipe. Makes your dishes so much tastier and fresher.

I liked this. I didn't find it confusing to use at all. Use 2/3 cup water and 3 Tbsp. of this mix to equal about 1/2 a can of canned soup. If you need more soup make a doubled amount. Make as much as you want as long as you use the same water to mix ratio.

Very confused! How much soup does this recipe make? In others I have seen to use like 2T of this recipe added to other ingredients. Seems like this is a good base.

The footnote about using 1/2-can of soup is because this recipe comes from the "Cooking for One or Two Cookbook."

....but who uses only 1/2 can of condensed soup for anything? Just baffles me as to why the author doesn't give the equivalent for one can

Thank you for sharing your recipe. Quick qustion: could a double batch of this mix be substituted for entire can of cream soup?

**Sincerely**,
