I am trying to find recipe substitutes for the popular creamed soups, like cream of celery, cream of mushroom, etc. These condensed soups are killing my budget. I don't even want to pay a buck a can for the generic option at Walmart. -- Nikki, Colorado Dear Nikki: Here's a bulk recipe to use in place of canned cream soups in casseroles, etc. Mix 2 cups powdered nonfat milk, 3/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup instant veg- etable bullion, 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes, 1 teaspoon dry basil leaves, 1 teaspoon dry thyme leaves and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pep- per. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. To substitute for one can of con- densed soup: Combine 1/3 cup dry mix with 1 1/4 cups cold water in saucepan. Cook and stir until thick- ened. Add to your recipe as you would one can of soup. Yield: Equivalent of nine cans of soup. Variations: • Mushroom soup: Add 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms. • Celery soup: Add 1/2 cup minced celery, cooked. • Potato soup: Add 1 cup diced potatoes, cooked. • Vegetable soup: Add 3/4 cup mixed vegetables, cooked. • Broccoli soup: Add 1 cup chopped broccoli, cooked. • Asparagus soup: Add 1 cup chopped asparagus, cooked. Recipes for these and other popular mixes are featured in a booklet I put together called Make Your Own Mixes. We've made it available as an eBooklet, down- loadable from your com- puter for $5 or as a print- ed booklet for $7.

February program highlights for KIXE • American Experience explores the Presidency of Bill Clinton as part of their Presidents series. The four hour program will be aired at 9 p.m. over two days, Monday, Feb. 20, and Tuesday, Feb. 21. The film explores the story of an American presi- dent who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most complex and conflicted char- acters to ever stride across the public stage. • American Experience: The Amish. With unprece- dented access o the Amish built on patience and hard- won trust, the film is the first to penetrate and explore this attention-averse group.
