Ingredient Notes

  • Butter: you can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. 1/2 cup of salted butter contains approximately 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Flour: all-purpose flour is used as a thickening agent. 1 tablespoon of cornstarch can be used in place of the flour.
  • Chicken Broth: use a low-sodium chicken broth for best results and to control the sodium content.
  • Milk: whole milk is ideal for this recipe, but 2% and 1% are also acceptable. For a creamier soup, use heavy cream in place of the milk.
  • Herbs and Spices: while they can be left out if you are using your homemade cream of chicken soup in another recipe, they add wonderful flavor that elevates this above store-bought.

Troubleshooting

Soup too thick? You can thin it out by adding more broth or milk. Add it in small amounts at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Soup too thin? You can create a cornstarch slurry which can be added straight to liquids to thicken. Remove about 2 tablespoons of the soup mixture and whisk it together with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Once smooth, it can be poured back into the saucepan to thicken the rest of the soup.
