    Same recipe I use, but I add dehydrated mushrooms for cream of mushroom (use beef bullion for this one). - 7/26/11

    Thanks for sharing. I passed this recipe along to my sister-in-law who is allergic to yeast, and oddly there is a lot of yeast in most canned soups. She said this recipe rocked! - 1/17/11

    since I'm on a low sodium diet I omitted the bullion and it still tastes GREAT! I use with veggies & rice makes a nice sauce -- also have used to replace cream of soup in recipes and it's worked great. thanks so much for sharing!! - 8/28/10

    So much better than the cans! I used this to make the Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie recipe here on Spark and it came out great! I didn't have any vegetable bullion so I used chicken. - 2/1/10

    I gave this out to my weight loss group and challenged them to bring a dish to share next week using it. I used it in my quick Cheesey Potato broccoli soup. - 9/17/09
