Looking for a substitute for canned cream of soups? You’ve found it! So quick and easy to make right on your stove.
Is Canned Cream of Soup Harmful
The canned stuff is typically loaded with fat and excess sodium. Check your labels. I have often seen, modified food starch, which is a processed ingredient that helps thicken up the soup. They also often include vegetable oil, sugar, and flavoring. Flavoring basically means something has been added to alter the natural flavor.
How to Make Cream of Chicken Soup
- Add chicken broth to a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
- Combine flour, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir.
- Slowly add the mixture to the pot with the broth. Stir.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture thickens.

I use this recipe all the time, especially when I make cheesy potatoes and green bean casserole! I've made this using the ingredients it calls for and have also made it with gluten-free flour and almond milk and it still tastes just as good!

I don't. You can use whatever you normally use to thicken sauces.
