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've been wanting to get away from canned soups like this but couldn't find an easy recipe until I stumbled on this one! So easy, so much 'fresher' tasting, and it makes me feel more accomplished knowing I didn't just dump a can of unknown junk into my food! Thanks so much!

Never once did I think I could make my own cream of chicken soup instead of buying canned. It was so easy! I added mushrooms to make it cream of mushroom to use in my green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and I’m very happy that there’ll be leftover soup!
