Tinned soup alternatives

The other day I had chicken, mushrooms and sour cream.  I thought to myself  "Terrific! I can make chicken with a sour cream and mushroom sauce", but we were going out all day so I wanted to slow cook it.  I started poking around for recipe inspiration.  The majority of recipes I found contained tinned soup. Blurk.  It was with chicken soup, mushroom soup or both.

If there is one ingredient I cannot stand to use in cooking it's tinned soup.

And here enters the S.O.S mix.

One Good Thing by Jillee- Soup or Sauce Mix

Soup or Sauce [S.O.S.] Mix
Ingredients
2 cups powdered non-fat dry milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant chicken bouillon (regular or low sodium)
2 Tbsp dried onion flakes
2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag, mixing well. (I keep mine in a jar)
Equal to 9 (10.5 oz) cans of cream soup.

To use: Mix 1/3c mix with 1 1/4 cold water in a saucepan and heat on med-low until thickened.


I first found this recipe a few years ago and I absolutely LOVE it.  It opens a lot of recipes up to me that I'd normally avoid due to the tinned soup factor.

I generally put it on when I start prepping my ingredients and it's done by the time I'm ready to add it!


Cheers!
