Thicken Soups With Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
When I find that my soups or stews or too thin or watery, I add instant mashed potatoes for the desired thickness. It works every time. And it's better than adding flour or cornstarch.

This also works well for ground beef/turkey taco mixture. If my mom browned beef/taco seasoning, etc and the mixture (or any skillet mixture) can out too watery/thin. She'd look around to make sure dad wasn't looking and add in instant mashed potatoes...lol. It was like our little secret :)

I have been doing this for years, also in gravy. I have never been able to get a decent thick soup or gravy made with flour or cornstarch.

Thicken soups and stews with instant mashed potato flakes. More nutritious and flavorful than corn starch or flour.

Thickening Soups and Stews
Any homemade soup, stew, or chowder can be thickened by adding a few spoonfuls of instant mashed potatoes. It tastes better than flour, but be careful - it gets thicker after a few minutes.
