Homemade (Condensed) Cream of Chicken Soup

Always love being able to DIY (or Do It MYself!)

I often use canned soups...I'm not against that at all, but sometimes when you run out, it's great to be able to make your own.

This recipe is simple and doesn't have the 'additives' that store-purchased canned soups do. 

It seems like it makes more than 2 cans worth, but I simply divided it in half and it worked out fine for my recipes.  I just didn't add the extra liquid called for in the recipe I was using.  

I'm sure you can judge that for yourself. 

It worked great in my recipe for Easy Turkey Pot Pie.

I chose to add 2 tsp. chicken soup base and reduce the amount of salt,

but that's an option, so do whatever you prefer. 

You're Welcome!
