- ✓Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour to the cream soup mixture to prevent watery separation during baking, as frozen vegetables release approximately 15-20% of their weight in moisture when heated.technique2-3 tablespoons flour, 15-20% moisture release
- ✓Use whole milk or half-and-half instead of skim milk because the fat content (3.25% minimum) helps create proper emulsification with the soup base and prevents curdling at high temperatures.ingredient3.25% fat content minimum
