Easy condensed soup substitution
Just an idea for those of us who don't like preservatives or extra salt in our food... if you've got a recipe that uses condensed soup, you can easily make your own substitute by making a small batch of white sauce (bechamel). Just do a little flour/butter roux but don't let it color (unless you're doing something darker, like a mushroom soup), and then then add to milk, heat and stir until it thickens. Then toss some of the veggies or whatever you want to use into your blender with the sauce, and you've got your cream soup with no preservatives or added salt.
