Cream of Tomato Soup

An all time favorite soup. Very easy to make, thick and rich in flavor.


Ingredients yields 2 cups
½ cup instant dry milk
1 cube chicken bouillon crushed
1 tbs cornstarch
2 tbs tomato powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp salt
2 cups water


Directions to reconstitute the dry mix:
Add the 2 cups of cool water and blend until smooth and creamy. If you use hot water to reconstitute the soup it will be very lumpy.

If using dehydrated veggies, hydrate first, then add them after the dry mix is blended smooth with the cool water.

After blending, heat to a simmer and stir as needed for 15 minutes until soup thickens.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Variations using Dehydrated Veggies:
Cream of Tomato and Celery soup: by adding 2 tbs dehydrated Celery.
Cream of Tomato and Broccoli soup: by adding 2 tbs dehydrated Broccoli.
Cream of Tomato and Mushroom soup: by adding 2 tbs dehydrated Mushrooms.

Rose,
Thanks for visiting!
I try to come up with recipes using only long term store foods, simple recipes and bakng that can be prepared over a camp fire shold a worst case disaster happen.
What I find interesting is these dehydrated and freeze dried foods are common in supermarket prepackaged foods so eating them is vary familiar to us all.
