HOMEMADE CONDENSED CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP
I found this on a site called "Tammy's Recipes" and have found it to be a great substitute for canned "cream of" soups. It is different from the others on this site as it is not a dried mix, but an actual condensed soup like Campbell's. I like that you can adjust the amount of salt and fat to your liking, and that it doesn't have any chemical additives in it. I make it with 1% milk and low sodium or homemade broth. It is also cheaper than the canned stuff - I usually make a double recipe and freeze it in 1 and 1/4 cup amounts (10 ounces in each ziplock bag = I "can" of soup). Greasing the measuring cup with pam before putting the soup in makes it easier to pour it out into the bag. I have not tried yet, but I bet you could also make a good Cream of Mushroom with this recipe by using mushroom broth... Anyhoo - thanks to Tammy! One batch makes 2 "cans" worth - I usually double it to make 4 "cans" at a time.
