Mostly because the xanthan gum that is used in commercial products is made from GMO corn. When I use it in my own mixes etc, I use organic xanthan gum that comes from organic corn which is not GMO. Commercial thickeners are only put there to make the end product more appealing to the user. They are not always necessary . This is thickened by using flour and butter. It is a more pure product. Thats all.
WOW! I need to try this! Another use for my canned celery! hahaha cream of celery soup! i can even use the water from the jar!!!! see what I do at 2am in the morning while Mina nurses. I stalk your old vids. HAHAHAHA
I don't know. I don't live in Florida. The powdered milk I used in this recipe was Whole Powdered Milk called NIDO. It can usually be found in the Latin food section of the grocery store. I have two large cans I got on clearance at Walmart that need to be used. Hope that helps.
I am thrilled to have stumbled on these old videos - just thrilled to be back in touch with you through them. The soup sounds great & I shall be making the magic mix & the soup within the week. God bless!
im a big creamed soup user. this magic mix is going to come in handy for creamed soups just like u just showed us. ty so so much 4 the great tip. have a great week
I love this! My daughter is allergic to MSG so I have not been able to make any of our old recipes that call for cream of chemical soup for the last 15 years. I can now pull out some old favorites and add some more variety to our dinner selection. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your comment. As you can see, I had no problem achieving the "condensed" soup thickness that I desired by using the Magic Mix. I prefer not to use cornstarch for a couple of reasons. The first of which is because it is a derivative of GMO corn. Even if the label says "organic" there is no guarantee it is GMO free. Secondly, when using cornstarch the "leftovers" congeal into an unappealing mass that is difficult to reheat because the starch breaks down too easily.. Thanks.
Thanks for this....my husband has to watch his sodium and we no longer buy the soups because of his heart issue. They are loaded up with it. I have been looking for alternatives and this is excellent.
This looks so good!!!! I roasted some asparagus last night and got a lot left over.I'll get 2 cans or so of Asparagus soup and add the leftover Asparagus to it.
You cannot can milk or dairy products. Cream cheese included. I don't care what other people have done. No milk, dairy, butter, starches, macaroni, rice, noodles flour, etc. There are guidelines that should be followed for safety. Not everything can be canned. People should research proper canning practice and recommendations.
A great way to thicken a sauce is to take a little bit of cornstarch and mix it with water then put it into your sauce and bring it to a boil. works perfectly and remember a little will go a long way compared to thickening with flour
Francis said I must come and check your videos out , and love it , I subscribed to you , thank you , great videos, big hugs and glad to have found you through her xxxx
Wow....this is so cool. Thanks Noreen, I knew there had to be a way around buying the canned stuff. I bet this mix is way cheaper (cup to cup) than that canned goo also.
You asked how long I have been Canning, and I replied. I Can all of our veggies, meats, soups, stews, jellies, jams, meats, beans etc. I do Not Can anything with dairy, that is the reason I posted my question. I am very aware that many DO process milk, butter, etc. But I never have
Love your candor and ideas. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and have not heard of vanilla powder and am not sure of non instant powder. My interest in this type of cooking is want smaller portions and to have it for my kids's families to save money. Could you please , if you can, if we have any of your ingredients here. Thank you Bobbi
Ah, that's what I was afraid of! That's the only ingredient I was iffy on. Didn't think so, but wanted advise from one of the "pros" I learn from here! Thank you for such a quick reply😊
I love this video. I have a question though. Once the soup mix is prepared, and you add the chicken stock to actually create the soup itself, can that soup then be preserved through canning?
So if you don't have the Magic Mix made, would a normal bechamel type deal be fine; butter melted flour mixed into it, then milk mixed in and cooked down?
I am sorry I don't get to watch all the videos so I don't know if you have stated this before but where do you get "magic mix" from? Or did you make it?
You don’t buy magic mix. It is not a brand. It is something that you make your self and use in different recipes. I actually have a video on how to make magic mix you can find it by doing a search on my channel page. Thanks! I hope that helps.
Noreen, when you say butter is perishable, to refrigerate....I'm confused because another you tuber was canning butter for the shelf...does canning it make it non-perishable??? Wendy
I don't really use that and in fact have never used cream of shrimp soup. However if you are looking to make cream of shrimp soup using Magic Mix, you can just mix up this soup without the broccoli, add a can of baby shrimp along with the juice and include at least a teaspoon of Old Bay or seafood seasoning. That would be where I would start. What would make it really great is if you started with shrimp stock instead of water. Then you would need to buy head on shrimp and peel and pop the heads off and then make a stock from that to make your cream of shrimp soup. Hope that helps.
Hey Noreen - Luv your channel and I appreciate all the time you take to make all these wonderful videos! I am hoping you can help me a bit - are you able to find the non-instant milk powder in the regular grocery? I live in OH so I know our grocery store options will be different with the exception of Walmart. I never realized there was non-instant milk powder - I have used instant milk powder in many applications but it's even hard to find as well. I remember the day when it came in a really large box and my Mom used to buy it and make the instant cocoa mix. Thanks for your help. Love all your recipes and I am with Rick....Cream of Bacon sounds wonderful! Cheers!
She said use some of your home canned chicken and some chicken bullion. If you don't have home canned chicken you could use canned chicken from the store or even some fresh cooked chicken.

I have been Canning nearly 30 years. I have never done anything with cream cheese before though. I Can pretty much everything!

Could you do a video on dehydrating veggies? And about storing them, and how long they keep, etc? Thanks! :)
Francis said I must come and check your videos out , and love it , I subscribed to you , thank you , great videos, big hugs and glad to have found you through her xxxx
This is awesome! I am planning on making some up soon! :)
Awesome! :)

Diane Grant oops. So sorry. Sometimes the way I get the comments can be disjointed when I reply.
That's alright. Thank you!

Bobbi
I have a Chicken Chili recipe that has cream cheese as an ingredient. How would I pressure Can that?
Diane Grant you can't.
Diane Grant how much canning have you done?
Ah, that's what I was afraid of! That's the only ingredient I was iffy on. Didn't think so, but wanted advise from one of the "pros" I learn from here! Thank you for such a quick reply😊
where do I purchase the non-instant dry milke powder in Central Florida?
I love this video. I have a question though. Once the soup mix is prepared, and you add the chicken stock to actually create the soup itself, can that soup then be preserved through canning?
So if you don't have the Magic Mix made, would a normal bechamel type deal be fine; butter melted flour mixed into it, then milk mixed in and cooked down?
Funny I got my NIDO on clearance from Smiths! Like $2 instead of $6. Guess i'll use that! Thanks!
I am sorry I don't get to watch all the videos so I don't know if you have stated this before but where do you get "magic mix" from? Or did you make it?
yup!! will be doing.LOL.
Love your recipes! By the way I had a can of cream of broccoli soup and decided to stain out the "broccoli" which amounted to 1 teaspoon. Sad!
What is the recipe for magic mix..thanks🍚
Great video! As a chemist, the negative use of the word 'chemical' is so saddening, but I certainly understand what you mean.
Noreen, I've heard you say a few times that you don't used canned mushrooms any more for certain reasons. Could you elaborate on that for me?
Noreen, where do you buy your magic mix and what is the exact name on the package. I looked on Wal-Mart and Amazon and am not finding it. Thank you!
You don’t buy magic mix. It is not a brand. It is something that you make your self and use in different recipes. I actually have a video on how to make magic mix you can find it by doing a search on my channel page. Thanks! I hope that helps.
Thank you so much! I will search for it right now :)
I can't find it. What is the magic mix?
Do you ever use thrive products to cook with?
Nope
Noreen, when you say butter is perishable, to refrigerate....I'm confused because another you tuber was canning butter for the shelf...does canning it make it non-perishable???
Wendy
How do you make cream of shrimp soup for cooking
I don't really use that and in fact have never used cream of shrimp soup. However if you are looking to make cream of shrimp soup using Magic Mix, you can just mix up this soup without the broccoli, add a can of baby shrimp along with the juice and include at least a teaspoon of Old Bay or seafood seasoning.

Do you still make this?
how about condense chicken? can you help us with that? I hate buying condense chicken in a can, it has way too much salt in it.
She said use some of your home canned chicken and some chicken bullion. If you don't have home canned chicken you could use canned chicken from the store or even some fresh cooked chicken.
Are you guys lds?
No we aren't.
Noreen's Kitchen Thank you for the speedy reply
God bless you my children
Campbell's is another way to spell SALT
