This recipe turns out with exactly the texture and nearly the exact taste of the condensed soups - without the chemicals. (It is a tad sweet off the spoon, but that disappears when you cook with it.) I used the chicken this first time, but will probably use mushrooms more often. Used evaporated skim milk and skim milk with no trouble. Since I am not gluten-free, I did substitute wheat flour.
