where in this recipe does it call for condensed milk?? Don't see it here. And secondly, when it says add the next ingredients it means add to what you have. common sense tells us that you do not need to write keep the water in the veggies because it says add to. and this does sound good. i am trying it out tonight with cauliflower,celery and potatoes. It will be my guide. You can always adjust what you care to to suit your own palate. Thanks for the recipe. let you know how it is !

There is a huge difference between CONDENSED and EVAPORATED milk. It took me an hour and a half to prepare this soup, and it was sickenly sweet. We ate just a bit, and tossed the rest. The recipe's author should also specify the quantity of EVAPORATED MILK in ounces, not just say a small can.
CDKitchen Note: Unfortunately, evaporated milk is also confusingly called "condensed" milk. SWEETENED condensed milk is something entirely different.

Shouldn't you be using evaporated milk and not condensed milk? Condensed milk is sweet?
CDKitchen Note: Condensed milk is a generic term referring to milk that has a portion of its water removed by evaporation (evaporated milk). Sweetened condensed milk has added sugar.

am trying the recipe. followed directions exactly as written. currently cooking.however, second thought is, should I have drained the veggies of water before adding milk,condensed milk and butter?if so, this should be written into the directions.
