Cream of Chicken Soup - when You Don't Have Canned - Substitute

Description: I was out of Cream of Chicken soup in my pantry and I needed it for dinner. I altered a recipe I found here on Zaar and whipped this up. It may not be exact, but it works and I can't tell the difference at all. I use it instead of a 10 3/4 ounce can. I will use this any time my shelf is bare!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes (Or 3 tbs fresh)
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

1. Over medium heat combine butter, onion, garlic, milk, heavy cream, and chicken broth in medium sauce pan until combined.
2. Add flour, salt and pepper and stir until it thickens. (About 3 minutes).
3. Just add more flour if you want it thicker.
4. Use in any recipe you need it for.
