Note

Store the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 2 months.

For a heartier soup, you can add 2 tablespoons of beef bouillon, 1 tablespoon of soybean flour, 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable protein, or 2 tablespoons of instant mashed potatoes to the dry mix before blending.

If you prefer a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast. You can also use dried minced onion instead of flakes if preferred.
