Ingredients

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and necessary kitchen tools: a medium-sized saucepan, whisk, measuring cups, and serving bowls.
- In the saucepan, combine the 4 cups of water and 1 cup of milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Gradually sprinkle the gluten-free cream soup mix into the liquid, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

- Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to maintain smooth consistency.
- Add dried herbs (thyme and parsley), salt, and pepper, stirring to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
- Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes to further thicken.

Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, measure out your gluten-free cream soup mix and herbs in advance. This way, you can simply grab and go when you're ready to cook!
- Whisking Technique: When adding the soup mix to the liquid, whisk vigorously to avoid any lumps. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Flavor Boost: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs or spices! A pinch of garlic powder or a dash of paprika can elevate the flavor profile even more.
- Garnish for Presentation: For an appealing touch, garnish your soup with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil just before serving.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess.
