Description

For those days when you need a condensed Cream Of _____ Soup but your cupboards are bare. You can change the flavoring by altering the type of bouillon or by adding minced celery.

Warning: it’s quite tasty. You may never go back.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoons Chicken Bouillon
  • 1 dash Black Pepper

Preparation

In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour until it darkens and thickens (basic roux). Stir in the milk, bouillon and pepper. Stir constantly until well incorporated and thickened.

Done! Kitchen crisis averted!

I’m so glad it’s worked for you! This is my “final version” after the umpteenth time I’ve thought I had a can of “cream of” in the cupboard but it really turned out to be chicken noodle.

This is a wonderful “substitute”, MUCH better than the canned stuff. I add dried mushrooms for cream of mushroom soup; dried celery leaves for cream of celery; dried onion flakes for cream of onion; and boullion for either chicken or beef flavors. All are excellent, and cheap, too!
