Condensed Cream of Onion Soup
This is a new one for me, I never heard of it, but seems to be a popular ingredient in many recipes. Here is a shortcut, you know what goes in it exactly. This makes basically 1 can of Condensed Cream of Onion Soup.
Equipment
- Microwave
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 can evaporated milk, 385 gram can is what I use, Falcon brand
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper powder
- pinch sugar
Instructions
- Place diced onion and oil into a 1 quart microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Microwave for 2 minutes, stopping to whisk after 1 minute and again when finished, if not thick or to your desired consistency, microwave for another minute and whisk again, continue until thickened.
Notes
Most recipes will just call for a can of condensed soup, some recipes (or if you just want to make the soup by itself) call for plus 1 can of water. One can equals 1¼ cups of water. But as a healthier alternative to using water, try using whey if you recently made cottage cheese, or water used to boil potatoes. Milk can also be used in place of water to make a creamier soup.
