How To Make canned soup base

Step 1Combine and store in an airtight container. To make 1 'can', add 1-1/3 cup water to small sauce pan and heat to boiling point. Add 4 TBS soup base and stir with a wisk. When thickened, add to your recipe.

Step 2Cheese soup - add 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese Mushroom soup - drain 1 small can mushrooms, saving liquid. Add enough water to the liquid to equal 1-1/3 cup. Place liquid and mushrooms in a blender or food processor and pulse until the mushrooms are chopped. Potato soup - Use 3 TBS of soup base and add 4 TBS potato flakes Nacho cheese soup- Make 4 'cans', add 1 can of Rotel tomatoes with chilis, drained. Makes 5 'cans' total. Freeze extra 'cans' in a ziploc bag to use at another time.

Step 33 TBS = thin soup; 4 TBS = thick soup I made this with white rice flour, instead of wheat flour when my kids were on a gluten free diet. In a saucepan, you can make 4 "cans", when it cools, Place a 'can' in a ziploc bag and freeze. When you need one, unthaw in the microwave for 2 minutes on 30% power.
