This easy-to-make soup mix is great to keep on hand for those nights you need to whip up a satisfying supper in a hurry. It's a great substitute for canned cream soup in a recipe. Or, add leftover chicken, asparagus or mushrooms, for example, and you'll have a steaming bowl of delicious soup in minutes.—Kay Beard, Vass, North Carolina

I love being able to control the ingredients and sodium and still get the same results as I do from a can of condensed soup. With food sensitivities in the family, many processed foods are now off limits. This recipe added back the convenience that those old can o' soup recipes brought. I use a different starch and organic chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon because of the allergy issues. Works great.
