How to Make Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup
Need to whip up some Cream of Chicken Soup to add to a recipe? This is the perfect solution for you! And you might just love it so much, you won't even need the store-bought stuff anymore!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup flour
- About a tablespoon of seasoning. (I like to mix together onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper. You can change it up too!)
Instructions
- Combine the chicken broth and a ½ cup of the milk in a large saucepan and heat to a low boil.
- While waiting for this to boil, whisk together the flour seasonings, and remaining milk until smooth.
- After broth and milk mixture starts to boil, reduce heat to low, and pour in the flour and milk mixture. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken. Usually about 5-10 minutes.
- The mixture will thicken a little more as it cools
