A shelf-stable jar mix of freeze-dried broccoli, cheese powder and milk powder. Just add water and simmer for a creamy soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups freeze-dried broccoli
  • ½ cup dehydrated chopped onions
  • ½ cup potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes also work as a thickener)
  • ½ cup milk powder
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (or vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a jar and close it.

Notes

To cook: pour the jar into a large saucepan, stir in 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20–25 minutes, stirring now and then until thick and creamy. For richer soup stir in ½ cup milk or cream just before serving.
Storage: up to 12 months, longer if vacuum-sealed.
Gift tag text: Just add water and love.
Safety: cheese and milk powders can go rancid.
