Description

I love using this Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup whenever a recipe calls for a canned soup. It’s customizable and tastes so much better!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bullion Chicken Base
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  
  2. Whisk in the flour, and allow to bubble and cook for 2-3 minutes.  
  3. Whisk in the milk, chicken base, basil, thyme, parsley, onion powder, and kosher salt.  Continue to heat, whisking frequently.  The mixture will thicken as it comes to a low boil after about 5-7 minutes.
