Cook time: 10 mins

Serves: 3 cups
Makes the equivalent of about 2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup.
Ingredients:
•2½ cups chicken broth (I used 2 cans)
•1½ cups milk
•¾ cup flour
•1 tablespoon seasoning mix (or on your own, ½ tsp. onion powder, ½ tsp. garlic powder, ½ tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. salt, ½ tsp. parsley, etc)
Instructions:
1.Combine the chicken broth and ½ cup of the milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a low boil.
2.Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the flour and seasonings into the remaining 1 cup milk until a smooth, thick mixture forms.
3.Pour the flour and milk mixture into the saucepan with the broth mixture over low heat and stir continuously, whisking as the mixture simmers. Continue to simmer and stir/whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick, 5-10 minutes. The mixture will thicken a bit as it cools.
Notes:
The seasoning possibilities are really open-ended. I change the spices I use every time I make this depending on what I'm going to use the soup for. The texture can get lumpy really quickly so I suggest keeping the heat as low as possible and whisking continuously for a more smooth consistency.
