Description
This homemade cream of chicken soup substitute whips up in four minutes and only uses 5 ingredients to replace store-bought condensed cream of chicken soup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tablespoons butter (or coconut oil)
- 3 to 4 Tablespoons flour (or organic cornstarch)
- 1/2 cup milk (or cream)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- dash of pepper
Instructions
- Step: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter (or fat of choice).
- Step: Whisk in flour. It will make a thick paste, continue whisking for about a minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Step: Slowly whisk in liquids. Bring to a simmer (not quite a boil), adding more liquid if it becomes too thick.
- Step: Remove from heat and stir in salt and dash of pepper.
Notes
For gluten-free options, use cornstarch or xanthan gum instead of flour. For dairy-free options, use all chicken broth or substitute full-fat canned coconut milk (unsweetened).
