Wednesday’s Urban Homekeeper’s Challenge Ideas!
May 14th, 2008 by Sylvia
One way to save money is to STOP buying prepackaged items like soups. Many of us use packaged and canned soups in recipes. Here are some recipes for commonly used soups. Let’s try to make these at home from now on!
My Homemade Cream Of Mushroom Soup
Saute 1/4 - 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms and 1 T finely chopped onions in a small amount of butter OR water til tender.
In a heavy sauce pan, melt 3 T butter or use a liquid oil of your choice.
Blend in 3 T flour and 1/4 tsp salt and cook til bubbly and golden. You can use whole wheat flour here.
Using a wire wisk, stir in 1 cup milk, water or broth. Or use a combination.
Stil and cook til thick. This makes about what is in on 19 oz can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and can be used in recipes.
