So excited to find this.... I start school tomorrow and work full time. I am trying to prepare dishes in advanced for dinner, however most casseroles call for cream soup and my boyfriend has allergies to corn and I cannot use store bought soups. I am going to use this, but sub flour for the cornstarch... Thank you!!! You have no idea how much you helped me by having this on here!!!!!
