Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups chicken broth
Dairy and Thickeners:
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth into a deep saucepan and elevate temperature to medium-high heat, allowing liquid to reach a vigorous rolling boil.
- While broth heats, prepare a smooth blending mixture by whisking flour, milk, and selected seasonings in a separate mixing bowl until ingredients integrate completely without lumps.
- Gradually introduce the flour-milk emulsion into the bubbling broth, maintaining constant stirring to prevent potential clumping and ensure silky texture.
- Dial down the heat setting to medium-low, continuing to stir the soup periodically to prevent bottom scorching and promote even thickening.
- Monitor the liquid’s consistency, allowing it to simmer and reduce for approximately 6-10 minutes until the soup reaches a luxurious, velvety thickness.
- Remove the saucepan from heat source and let the creamy chicken soup rest and cool completely, which will further enhance its rich, comforting profile before serving.
Notes
- Whisk flour mixture thoroughly to prevent lumps in your soup’s silky texture.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for enhanced aromatic flavor profile.
- Let soup cool slightly before serving to allow natural thickening and rich consistency.
- Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days in refrigerator.
- Consider adding shredded rotisserie chicken for quick protein boost and convenience.
- Low-fat milk works perfectly as a healthier alternative without compromising creamy taste.
