Cream of whatever mixes

[Deleted]

Anyone ever make the dry Cream of Xxx mixes that I see recipes for online? Are they any good? I was wondering if I could make a dry cream of mushroom mix and use dehydrated mushrooms in it. What about the cream of chicken? Most of the ingredients I have except dry milk.

Why not just make a simple cream sauce (Butter, milk and flour or cornstarch) and then add mushrooms or chicken or whatever to it?

I have made them. get a good quality bullion or increase the amount called for. handy to have on a shelf, but like Willow said, the fresh cream sauce will taste better.


Mushrooms take a while to rehydrate, they need to be tiny to work, or even powdered.

Dry milk does not store well once not Vacuumed sealed. W willowgirl, wins this for mem

Thanks. If I’m going to go with a cream sauce I’ll just keep buying canned. I was looking for a Dry mix.

I would have to look it up... We do have a recipe for a universal "cream of anything" recipe that works very well.

Mostly being used in a recipe, but I suspect it could be made into a sauce on the side also. Never tried that.

So... short answer.. Yes these dry recipes work well. Never had an issue with the recipe that could be connected to the age of the mix..

My experience has been to be careful with bullion of any kind as apposed to soup base as bullion can overwhelm things with salt..
