"Unprocessing Foods" -- Entry 6 Cream of Chicken Soup


I was so excited when I stumbled on a recipe for Cream of Chicken soup, just like Campbell's.  Not only does it eliminate one more processed food, but also it allows me to make it gluten-free (& dairy-free if needed).  This recipe comes from www.iowagirleats.com.
This finishes my New's Year Resolutions of eliminating six processed foods.  However, I have found more & will keep going!

Cream of Chicken Soup
Yields: 1 can

1-1/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup milk
6 T flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried parsley (or 3/4 tsp fresh)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried oregano (or 3/4 tsp fresh)
1/8 tsp dried basil (or abt 1/4 tsp fresh)

Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan.  Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, flour & seasonings in a separate bowl.  Once broth is boiling, turn heat to medium & slowly pour in the milk mixture.  Whisk constantly until thickened about 2-3 minutes.  Let cool.
