Easy Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

April 17, 2020 //  by April Graney//  Leave a Comment

Have you ever planned on making a casserole but find you’re completely out of canned cream of chicken soup? Who wants to drive to the store just for that? No need to worry! Here’s a homemade version that is easy, tasty, and with less preservatives than the canned lump version. I loathe recipe sites that spend a day telling you all about the recipe and how the cook feels about it before you get to the actual recipe, so right up front: here it is!

Ingredients:

  • 4 TBS Butter
  • 4 TBS Flour
  • 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon
  • 1 Cup Milk

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt 4 TBS butter with 1 tsp Chicken Bouillon. When that gets bubbly, stir in 4 TBS of flour. Mix with a wire whisk, then pour in 1 cup of milk. Cook and whisk until smooth and thickened in about 1 minute. Viola! Cheaper, better, fresher, cream of chicken soup that can be used in any dish that calls for the canned stuff.

For visual learners like me, here’s the directions with pictures!

Add butter and bouillon to a saucepan and melt.
Once the butter and bouillon is all melty and bubbly, add 4 TBS flour.
After a minute or so of stirring, it should look like this.
Then pour in 1 cup of milk, and whisk constantly about another minute until it looks like the beautiful, creamy, picture below.
See that!? Beautiful perfection in less than 5 minutes total.

This post took longer to write than making the actual cream of chicken soup did. Enjoy!

When Tom and I moved to Dallas for him to attend S When Tom and I moved to Dallas for him to attend Seminary, that first semester I audited "Soteriology" with Dr. Pyne and loved it so much, I decided to attend seminary as well. Tom and I graduated together in 1999 with our Master's in Biblical Studies degress. We enjoyed those years of study so much! Then we started our family, and I sometimes would wonder how I would use my degree some day (besides personally and with my family, which I don't discount at all!). Fast forward to 2013 when I wrote The Marvelous Mud House, and then 2018 when I wrote The Marvelous Maker. I don't know if my "credentials" with DTS gave me an edge in getting published, but I'm sure it didn't hurt! :) Today, I enjoy studying the Word even more on a daily basis as I seek to allow God to use my gifts and callings for the building of his kingdom. This came out in DTS magazine recently! How exciting and fun and such an honor and priviledge to have my photo right near one of my and Tom's absolute favorite professors at Dallas Seminary, Dr. Ronald Allen! #onehappyhouse #themarvelousmaker #bhpub #themarvelousmudhouse

I'm so excited to share with you all my Bible read I'm so excited to share with you all my Bible reading plan!! I first decided to read through the entire Bible in 100 Days towards the end of 2020. It seemed like a good way to spend the most ridiculously crazy year of my lifetime. I knew that God was up to something in this world, if anything, reminding us all of our own mortality, and I wanted to dig into his Word and know him more intimately as I pondered meeting him face to face. I heard a statistic on the radio that said Christians are reading their Bibles less than they were before the pandemic started! While this seemed incredibly sad to me, it also convicted me as I questioned how much of my own time was spent in the Word of God this past year. I enjoyed reading thru the Bible so much these past 100 days that I created this plan for anyone wanting to try it in 2021! It can be customized for 200 or 300 days as well. Check it out here! It's free!http://onehappyhouse.org/the-jesus-our-redeemer-bible-in-100-days-plan/
