Home-made "Cream of" soup

-a perfect substitute for the canned soup in recipes.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of butter (or margarine), two tablespoons of flour, half a cup of milk, and (optionally) a quarter of a teaspoon of salt over medium heat. Melt butter first, then sprinkle in the flour while stirring, then slowly add the milk while stirring.

- cream of chicken soup, sub. half a cup of chicken stock for the milk.
- cream of mushroom soup, add quarter of a cup of finely diced mushrooms.

Simmer over low heat for three minutes while stirring. Equals approx. 1 can.
