Cream of Chicken Soup is a major pantry staple in our house. I learned how to make it from scratch and is a great help when I am in a pinch and need a can quickly.

This recipe gets used a lot when I am making soups or crockpot recipes. Making potato soup one day, I needed a can and could not find any in the pantry.

I went to the pantry looking for my cream of chicken — only to realize I was completely out!

I started scouring the internet and found a great rendition. Over the years have tweaked it to finally get it exactly as I want it.

 How to Make Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

For this recipe you need —

• 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon of chicken broth
• 1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 pinch ground allspice
• pinch ground paprika
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour

Place 1 tablespoon of chicken stock in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in the onion and garlic and cook in the broth until they are softened about 3 minutes.

Pour in the rest of the broth and 1/2 cup of milk, and whisk in the salt, black pepper, parsley, lemon pepper seasoning, allspice, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and allow to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk together the remaining milk and the flour until smooth, and whisk the milk mixture into the hot stock mixture. Keep whisking continuously to avoid lumps until the soup comes almost to a boil and thickens.
