Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
Description
Made by simmering low-sodium chicken broth with poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, parsley, and paprika, this soup forms the flavorful foundation. A mixture of milk and flour whisked in gradually thickens the soup over a few minutes to achieve the characteristic creamy consistency. The resulting sauce can be used immediately or refrigerated for up to a week, with further thickening as it cools.
This adaptable base mimics the flavor profile of commercial condensed cream of chicken soup without additives. The recipe allows seasoning adjustments, including substituting herbs if poultry seasoning is unavailable. Doubling the recipe is straightforward for larger quantities. Additionally, finely chopped cooked chicken can be stirred in after cooking to add texture akin to canned varieties.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup chicken broth low-sodium
- ⅛ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste if needed
- Pinch parsley dried
- Pinch paprika
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth and all the seasonings to a simmer.
- In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, vigorously whisk the milk and flour together until smooth.
- While whisking the broth, slowly pour in the flour/milk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Continue to stir and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add additional salt and pepper to taste as needed. Use immediately in a recipe or cool and refrigerate for up to a week. This will thicken much more as it cools.
Notes
- The flavor depends heavily on the chicken broth used; choose a broth with a taste you enjoy or make homemade broth.
- Seasonings can be adjusted to preference; poultry seasoning can be substituted with sage, marjoram, and thyme if unavailable.
- The recipe yields one can-sized portion but can be doubled or more as needed.
- Adding finely chopped cooked chicken at the end creates texture similar to canned condensed chicken soup.
