This sauce is similar to purchased condensed soup (such as cream of mushroom). However, it has 1/3 the calories and about a hundredth of the fat contained in purchased soups. Canned soups add about 300 calories, this mix adds 95. Either chicken or beef bouillon can be used. Mushrooms may be added at cooking time for texture. Makes 3 cups mix, equivalent to 9 cans of soup.
