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, crockpot recipes, or my Poppyseed Chicken Casserole. 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 —

• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 3-4 tablespoons of flour
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder'1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning

Melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted add the flour and whisk to incorporate. Let it cook for a minute to get the flour taste out.

Whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Now add in the seasonings and continue to whisk and cook until it has thickened.

If it is too thick, just add a little more liquid. Remove from the heat and cool and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it. I like to use these Weck jars to store my cream of soups in.
