Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

By The Stay At Home Chef

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt (, or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (, or to taste)

Instructions

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add in flour and increase heat to medium. Whisk together and let cook for 2 minutes. The butter and flour mixture will become more golden and smell a bit nutty.

Slowly pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking continously to combine.

Bring to a simmer and whisk constantly while it heats. Just as it comes to a simmer, it will thicken up and should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Season by stirring in garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
