Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
This homemade condensed cream of chicken soup mimics store-bought condensed soup using chicken stock, milk, flour, and a blend of spices including onion, garlic, poultry seasoning, and parsley. The mixture is whisked and cooked until thickened, resulting in a smooth, creamy base useful for casseroles and sauces where condensed soup is called for.

Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups milk 2%
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon or one bouillon cube
Instructions
- Prep Flour: Add flour to a small bowl and add all of the dried seasonings. Mix well. In a medium sized bowl or 4 cup Pyrex add 1 cup of the milk and then add flour mixture a little bit at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to ensure that the flour is mixed well in the milk to prevent lumps.
- Heat Milk and Stock: Meanwhile, add chicken stock and 1/2 cup of milk to a small pot and heat over medium high, bringing it to a gentle boil, but whisking often to prevent the milk from burning. Turn heat down to low.
- Thicken: Add the milk and flour mixture to the pot and stir constantly as it all thickens. About 5 minutes.
- Store: Store in jars in the fridge until you're ready to use!

- Use your preferred bouillon cubes or powders; 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon equals 1 bouillon cube.
- Store the soup in airtight containers in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to four months.
