MYO: Cream Soup Mix
We eat dairy free at our home because my kids and husband are all allergic to milk. I had a need for a replacement for cream of mushroom soup or any cream of soup. I used to make this recipe from Once a Month Mom and freeze it.
But when I bought a copy of Dining on a Dime Cookbook I found a great recipe for make your own cream soup mix and I adapted it to be dairy-free. I use the broth powder I get from Azure Standard because it is not as salty as the ones from the store. I also get my powdered milk substitute called Vance’s Dari-Free from Azure Standard.
How I store mine with instructions written on top.
Dairy Free Cream Soup Mix
Ingredients
2 cups Dry Milk Substitute (like Vance’s Dari-Free)
1/4 cup Broth Powder
2 T Dried Onion Flakes
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp basil
1 tsp thyme
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and store in an airtight container. I reuse the Vance’s Dari-Free container.
To Make measure 1/2 cup of mix and mix with 1 1/4 cup water in a pan. Whisk to blend well. Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. Use this in place of a can of cream of anything soup.
Variations
I also add dried mushrooms or canned mushrooms to make cream of mushroom. I add dried celery or fresh finely diced celery for cream of celery soup. For cream of chicken soup, I add a little more chicken broth powder.

It sure must be hard to find dairy substitutes like this! I’m so glad that you were able to find this recipe to make your cooking go a little bit easier 🙂
Is the flour measurement correct at 2 1/2 CUPS?
Elaine, yes, you want to use 2 1/2 cup of flour in the recipe. When you prepare the mix and cook on the store, the mixture will be thick like canned cream soup. I hope that helps.
