How To Make creamed soup basic formula

• Step 1
  In a soup pot on medium heat, saute the diced vegetables in the olive oil or butter until the vegetables are "al dente." If you are using potatoes or other slow-cooking vegetable, add a few tablespoons of water, cover, and steam to finish cooking the vegetables.
• Step 2
  Optionally, dice or break the meat into small pieces and add to the vegetables.
• Step 3
  Mix the water and flour until the lumps are gone. This can be done with a whisk or by shaking the flour and water together in a jar.
• Step 4
  Pour the floured water and the evaporated milk into the vegetables and meat. Stir to mix.
• Step 5
  Bring to a simmer and turn the heat down to medium low. Continue to simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the flour has been fully cooked and the soup has thickened.
• Step 6
  Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and other additions. Serve hot.
