Excellent flavor. I used 5 cups chicken broth and canned this. I divided the chicken broth and kept back 1 cup cold broth to mix in the cornstarch and then added it to the heated mixture. I also added minced dried wild mushrooms. I have also used this recipe as it was intended as dry condensed soup and mixed with liquid as you need it. Again, very tasty and convenient. Much better flavor than store bought canned condensed soup.

This gluten-free recipe works for me! I am so very glad to have a substitute for the condensed cans of soup that is still almost as easy as opening a can.

I have been using this recipe for at least 15 years from a heart healthy cookbook. I've found it is best to heat the water in the microwave to not quite boiling, stir in the mix and then cook on a lower power level til thickens. This is MUCH lower in fat and salt then canned cream soups.

This was exactly what I needed. Next time, I'd like to play with the spices a little. But, it's a great substitute for canned condensed soup. Thank you.

Great recipe! We mixed all ingredients accept chicken bullion powder, then added 5 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 lb of chopped wild Hen-of-the-Woods mushrooms. Once it cooked down to the consistency we wanted, we pressure canned it (5 pint-sized jars) at 10 lbs for 25 min. Wonderful flavor!!!

Very awesome alternative when you are out of "cream of" soup. Tastes just the same in a recipe. I prefer it without the basil as it doesn't go in some recipes. Use 1/2 the water if you are using it to replace a canned soup in a recipe.
