Christina's Cream of Chicken Soup

Yes, as in the concentrated variety... so as to not need to buy that nasty stuff in a can ever again! I was pleasantly surprised with how easy this recipe is and it tastes great!


from Our Best Bites

1 1/2 C chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon parsley
dash of paprika
1 1/2 cups milk, divided
3/4 cup flour

In medium-sized saucepan, bring chicken broth, seasonings, and 1/2 c. of the milk to a boil. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of milk and flour.

Add to boiling mixture and continue whisking briskly until mixture boils and thickens (Side note: I used whole milk and it was instantly thick; I couldn't have had thinner soup if I wanted to! I think next time I will use whatever milk we are drinking so as to have some more control). Cook until desired consistency is reached, keeping in mind that it will continue to thicken as it stands.

Makes the equivalent of 2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup.
