RECIPE - Basic Cream of Soup Recipe

"Cream Of" soups:

When I have time, I always make my own.  I can't stand canned stuff because of the preservatives lining the can - basically it is just bad for you.  Plus, Mark and I both don't like Campbell's typical canned taste.

Here's what you do.  Basic cream of chicken soup - start with butter in a saucepan, melt but don't brown.  Add 2-3 tbsp of flour to the butter and mix together over low to medium low heat.  Once melted, add chicken stock slowly until consistency is to your liking (takes about 2 cups).  Season with salt/pepper.  Here is your "cream of" soup.  To make cream of mushroom - grill up some cut up mushrooms separately in small about of butter, add to your soup and season to your liking.  When I make homemade pot pies, this is the base of my cream sauce, then I add veges and chicken and top with pie crust.
