Skip the cans, and make your own cream of chicken soup. Perfect for using in recipes that call for it, and a lot healthier.

Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup - horizontal

While I’m all about convenience and making meals fast, there are a few shortcuts that I prefer not to make.

However, cutting out all the recipes that involve Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom soup etc would be a shame (because some of them are awesome comfort foods), especially when there is a healthier way to achieve the same result!

I make double batches of this, and freeze in 1.5 Cup portions – so I have it on hand whenever I need it. 

Simple ingredients (that are easily pronounced, and you probably already have!)

Note: This can be made vegetarian by subbing chicken broth for vegetable broth (do I get an award for stating the obvious, or something?)

    I used to love buying the thick kind of cream of chicken soup, but it's probably loaded with flavourings, salt etc. Great to have this healthy alternative! Love the idea of freezing it in portions!
