Learn how to make creamy comforting Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup that warms your heart and satisfies every craving with easy steps

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Pinch of dried thyme or parsley

    • Instructions

  • Start by melting the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Once it’s foaming but not browned, toss in the finely chopped onion. Stir and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and sweet-smelling.
  • Sprinkle the flour evenly over the butter-onion mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Keep stirring for about 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste while making a golden roux.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth in small amounts while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Once all the broth is added, the mixture will start to thicken.
  • Lower the heat a bit and stir in the whole milk. Continue stirring as the soup warms.
  • Add the cooked chicken pieces, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  • Simmer the soup on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld and the soup thicken.
  • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, stir in fresh thyme or parsley now for added aroma.
  • Serve hot or use as a base for other dishes.

    • Notes
