I just love how versitile this recipe is. Typically, I make it with a certain dish in mind, and can tailor the flavors to match the dish I plan to make. For example, instead of garlic powder, I use thyme leaves for my cream of chicken soup when I plan to make my chicken pot pie casserole. In my Beef Stroganoff recipe, I love the flavor of steak seasoning- so I add that instead of my salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
*The picture above shows my Cream of Mushroom Soup. I diced up some mushrooms (about 1/4 cup), and put them in the pan with the melted butter.
