Dash of salt
Combine cocoa, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Add water, and mix until smooth. Bring this mixture to a boil. Be careful this does not over boil. Remove from heat, when it cools add the vanilla. Mix with milk (hot or cold) or serve with ice cream.

Cream Soup Mix

This can be a substitute in any recipe that calls for a can of condensed soup. I haven't tried it yet but it came from Lisa Larsen. I'm not sure if she's tried it yet, but you can check!

Cream Soup Mix
2 c. nonfat powdered milk
3/4 c. cornstarch
1/4 c. instant chicken bouillon
2 Tbsp. dried onion flakes
1 tsp basil leaves
1 tsp thyme leaves
1/2 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients, mixing well. S store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Cream Soup

1/3 cv. cream soup mix (above)
1 1/4 c. cold water

Whirl ingredients in a blender or use a wire whisk. Mix until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly over medium heat until thickened.

Good luck! Comment when you try it and let us know how it goes!
