Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup From Scratch

I have used this recipe for so many of the recipes I’ve published over the years. It’s just one of those great recipes to have on hand, because it’s so easy and can be used for so many different reasons. It makes an excellent cream gravy over biscuits, a fantastic cream sauce to use in any recipe you could want, and can even be used as a soup all by itself.


Anywhere that you would use “cream of chicken,” or in any recipe that calls for it, whip this yummy creation up instead of using the processed version from the can. For one, you won’t have a sauce shaped like the aluminum can in came from, it won’t contain all of the toxic chemicals and preservatives in it, you won’t have to worry about extra sugar or harmful sodium, and it’s much tastier homemade. But isn’t everything?

For every recipe I write that uses cream of chicken as one of its ingredients, I have wanted to simply be able to link you to this homemade version for so long. But unfortunately I hadn’t taken the time to type it up for you yet. Who has time for writing up recipes for ingredients?? I would much rather share my Pot Roast, Chicken Divan or Corn Casserole with you.

But, as I’m sitting here sorting, selling, and packing all of our belongings ready to finally move to some land, like we’ve dreamed of for so long, this time while my youngest slept in my arms seemed like the perfect time to write up some of the recipes I’ve been trying to get to for a while. This particular recipes is one of my staples that is just as valuable to have around as cinnamon and garlic powder. Okay, maybe not quite that valuable, but handy nonetheless. I hope it helps you out!

I think my two favorite places to use this delicious recipe is in my Chicken Divan and my Chicken Pot Pie (however you choose to make it). I even love the smell of this soup as I’m cooking and have to resist dipping bread in it as it’s thickening for a little treat for all of my slaving over the stove. Haha

In truth, this one has saved me a dozen times because not only is it a quick gravy to whip up in no time, but it also makes a great tasty sauce when you need one for a recipe. I think I’ve tweeked it every time I’ve made it, adding sage and paprika one time and adding garlic and oregano another. It really depends on what you’re making, but don’t be afraid to make this one your own.
