In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dry milk powder, and cornstarch. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.

To use as a soup base: Mix 1/3 cup of the dry mix with 1 cup of cold water. Whisk together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Add additional seasonings or ingredients as desired.
