Recipe for Cream Soup Substitute - Wellness Wednesday by A Panama Mama
A few weeks ago I was in need of a couple of cream of chicken soup cans for a tasty Italian cream cheese chicken recipe. Panama sometimes is weird when it comes to groceries. I was able to find things like cream of asparagus, cream of broccoli and chicken noodle soup, but cream of chicken was harder to come by. I had to search the internet for alternatives and I was glad I did! The recipe I found didn't use many ingredients, tasted great and was relatively easy to make. You can use this substitute in any recipe that calls for cream soup.
I found this recipe at Center Cut Cook and it really does taste great. I actually doubled the recipe since I needed 2 cans and it worked out great.
Here are the ingredients to make the equivalent of one can:
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
The directions were easy to follow as well:
- Whisk together the melted butter and flour and let it cook for a little bit, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in chicken broth, and then milk. Whisk together for a few minutes.
- As it sits, it will begin to thicken, but keep stirring every little bit - low heat!
- Add salt and pepper. Voila!
She says you can freeze it for a few months. I can never work that far in advance! I added tiny bits of chicken to mine as I needed cream of chicken soup. It had a nice flavor and cost me way less than $2 a can to make it this way. Plus I knew every ingredient in my soup. I didn't have to wonder what "monosodium glutamate" or "flavoring" were, like I do with the name brand one.

But of course! I can't mention that yummy recipe and not post about it. ;) It's super easy and can be made in the crock pot. Yum! I'll post the recipe soon! Thanks for including it in the curation post! Always nice to be included.
I didn't know if you'd catch it, but I just posted the recipe for Italian cream cheese chicken. :)

I found that to be true when I visited the grocery stores on my visit. The recipe you found is a lot healthier for you too.
Near PTY, there are way more choices than where we live. Even if we go to David, there are better options, but they still don't carry everything we need so having some substitute recipes are really helpful! And thankfully I usually have all of those supplies on hand. :) Thanks for the comment.

Actually a lot of 'additives' are fairly innocuous - like ascorbic acid which is just vitamin c. But a few, like MSG, are problematic to those of us with intolerances to them. I've been dying for a simple canned mushroom soup that I don't have to make from scratch! I kind of envy people who can get away with not having to make everything from scratch in order to avoid things they're allergic to. Just thought I'd show how conflicted I am over something as simple as canned soup ;)
