Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 pinch dried parsley
- 1 pinch paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan combine broth, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Pour into saucepan, whisking continuously, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 1 minute.
Notes
- Chicken broth: Homemade chicken broth or your favorite store-bought brand.
- Poultry seasoning: Make it yourself with sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and a little bit of nutmeg or substitute store-bought.
- To use in a recipe: Use the full in your recipes exactly as you would use canned condensed soup.
- To eat as a soup: Add 1 cup chicken broth or water and heat until piping hot. You'll have 2 (1-cup) servings.
- Freezing: Let the soup cool completely, then portion it out into freezer-safe containers. Leave about an inch at the top for expansion. When you thaw it out, give it a good whisk to blend everything up again.
- Canning: Unfortunately, this recipe isn't a good candidate for home canning. But it freezes well, which is the next best thing.
