Potato Soup Mix
This potato soup mix stirs together quickly and works great as a pantry staple or as a frugal gift. To make a bowl of soup you just need to boil some water and stir in the mix.
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 1¾ cups instant potato flakes
- 1½ cups instant dry milk powder
- 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
Instructions:
- Stir together all the ingredients except the dried parsley and chives.
- Place the mixture into a food processor and process until the mixture is more powdery.
- Stir in the dried parsley and dried chives (doing this after processing gives the mixture some flecks of color)
- Store the mixture in a jar with a tight fitting lid.
- To make the soup: Boil one cup of water and then stir in 1/4 cup of the soup mix.
Notes:
If you do not run the mixture through the food processor, use 1/2 cup of the mix when making a bowl of soup.
To make a vegan option: Substitute soymilk powder for the dry milk powder, substitute a couple cubes of vegetable bouillon for the chicken bouillon, and add a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Add any additional salt & pepper to the prepared bowl of soup as needed.
