Chelle in MO Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 What can I use for the creaminess (is that a word??) instead of cream of chicken soup? I usually boil chicken, potatoes, peas, and carrots and mix them w/soup. Thanks, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I make my own 'cream of chicken soup' by melting a couple of tablespoons of butter, stirring in a couple of tablespoons of flour and a chicken stock cube, then stirring in 1 1/2c water until the mixture is slightly thickened.

I usually boil chicken, potatoes, peas, and carrots and mix them w/soup. Thanks, Chelle I don't like using those "cream of" soups because they are sooo high in sodium. Here's a mix I make up in bulk to use as a substitute: 2 cups nonfat dry milk powder 3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 low sodium instant chicken broth powder 2 T dried onion flakes 1 t each dried basil and thyme (sometimes I just use 2t Italian seasoning) 1/2 t pepper Store in a well-sealed contained until needed. Then use 1/3 cup mix with 1 1/2 cups of cold water. This equals one 15oz can of cream of chicken soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I make my own 'cream of chicken soup' by melting a couple of tablespoons of butter, stirring in a couple of tablespoons of flour and a chicken stock cube, then stirring in 1 1/2c water until the mixture is slightly thickened. Yup, that's what I do, except I use stock instead of the cube/water. But I always have stock around. I also sautee the chicken and veggies (except the potatoes), then add the butter, flour, and stock right to the pan. That way I know how much sauce there is compared to the chunks. (And, also, I am extremely lazy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 So can I use the water that I boiled the chicken in to make stock? How? Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
