Cream of Chicken Soup mix

How many recipes do you have that uses condensed cream of something soup?  It seems like every casserole uses it and so I bet it is a staple of your pantry.  Shortly after we moved to this house, a sister at church shared this recipe to make your own.  So I tried it the next time I needed some and my family thought it tasted a lot better.  I was sold!  Now we're saving lots of money and eating healthier.

Cream of Chicken Soup Mix (equivalent to 8 cans)
2 cups nonfat dry milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
2 tbsp. dried onion
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 cup chicken bouillon 

Mix thoroughly and store in air tight container.

To use:
Stovetop:  Mix 1/3 cup mix and 1 1/4 cup cold water in small saucepan.  Stir constantly over low heat until thickened.  Use as equivalent to one can of condensed soup.
Microwave:  Mix 1/3 cup mix and 1 1/4 cup cold water in medium bowl.  Heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring several times.  Use as equivalent to one can of condensed soup.
