Join the discussionLooking for recipe made from: Cream Chick Soup, Swiss cheese, broccoli/carrot/caulf vegies. Was on back of Cream of Campbell CE chick soup.

Why would you use whole wheat flour in something like this? As great as WW flour is for breads etc., I would think the bran would do vile things to the texture of anything you tried to thicken with it.
The WW flour was chosen in this case because we wanted to be able to use it with our Real Foods recipes. You can most certainly change that to the flour of your choice using this post as a guide: https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/recipe-roundups/homemade-cream-of-something-soup/
Hope this helps!
How much does this make?
The total yield will depend on exactly how much you thicken the soup when cooking, but I would estimate it should make about 12 fluid ounces.
Is this like the can of soup as is, or like the soup after it has been diluted?
Hi Cindi. It is like a can of soup as is, it is thick. Hope this helps!
