Thanks for posting this! I resist using all those recipes that call for canned cream soups because the commercial soups are so full of sodium, and meant to look for a recipe for a cream soup base I could make myself. You just saved me the search!

My pleasure! I also have the sodium bad thing, I am really surprised that doctors give you a list of what not to eat, but never had to make your own!
