Ingredients

  • 1 1.5- ounce package Knorr Four Cheese Sauce Mix
  • 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package Lipton Recipe Secrets Vegetable flavor broth
  • 3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 3 cups powdered coffee creamer
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Stir the Knorr Four Cheese Sauce Mix, chicken bouillon granules, pepper, Lipton vegetable broth mix, dried parsley flakes, powdered coffee creamer, and cornstarch together in a large bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly among 8 small zip-top bags, using about 1/2 cup in each bag.
  3. To prepare 1 serving, empty 1 bag into a microwave-safe mug.
  4. Add 1 cup water and stir very well until the dry mix is fully moistened.
  5. Microwave on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes.
  6. Stir, cover, and let stand 3 minutes before serving.

Recipe Size Alteration

💡 If you altered the ingredients above by doubling or tripling the recipe, you may also need to change the pan/dish size and adjust the cook time.

Notes

Prep time is an estimate based on mixing and portioning 8 packets.
Cook time is listed as 0 minutes because the base mix itself is not cooked until serving.
Microwave wattage varies, so heat longer in 15-second intervals if needed after standing.
Store the dry mix in airtight bags or jars in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months for best quality.
Refrigerate prepared soup within 2 hours and use within 3 to 4 days.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything.
