Homemade Thick Chicken White Sauce – Cream Of Soup Substitute
Looking at a recipe that calls for cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or any other cream style soup? You can make your own with just a handful of ingredients. Here’s the basic recipe.
I also have a recipe for a homemade cream of anything soup mix that you can make ahead of time and keep in your pantry.
Cream Of Soup Substitute
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp butter or margarine
- 4 Tbsp all purpose flour
- dash salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Put medium sauce pan over low heat and add butter.
- Sprinkle in flour and salt while whisking; continue whisking for 1 minute.
- Continue whisking while pouring in all chicken broth.
- Whisk constantly while cooking until sauce gets thick and bubbly.
Use in any recipe that calls for a “cream of” soup or to make thick sauces of any type. This sauce is thick, like “cream of” soups.
Other ideas:
Stir in shredded cheese for a thick cheese sauce for Macaroni and Cheese dish.
You can substitute milk for the chicken broth for a traditional thick white sauce.
