Do you have a preferred low sodium bouillon powder for the SOS mix?
Healthy Canning
Knorr sells on: “Knorr Ultimate Low Sodium Chicken Bouillon Base”. There are several other brands.

By any chance, have you tried making this up in a “thick” version to use as a replacement for canned (condensed) cream of mushroom soup? There are a few recipes form my childhood that called for undiluted canned cream of mushroom soup, and I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement for years. Thank you.
Healthy Canning
That is a very interesting point Beth. I haven’t tried this, but, I’m wondering about making it thicker simply not topping up the liquid, or, putting a bit more of the SOS mix in?

I reckon condensed milk would make it like a canned soup, with maybe some cornflour, or potato starch If you dont want wheat, as I dont.
