Homemade Cream of Chicken
This from scratch cream of chicken is an easy homemade replacement for canned soup made with simple ingredients like butter, flour, broth, and milk.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or freshly milled flour. I prefer to use fresh milled flour of choice.
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup milk warmed
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fully melted and just starting to bubble.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until it forms a smooth paste and loses that raw flour smell.
- Stir in the seasonings and let them bloom briefly in the butter mixture.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, keeping it smooth, then pour in the milk and continue whisking.
- Cook, whisking often, until the mixture thickens and just begins to gently simmer.
- Remove from heat and use as needed.
