Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute

(http://bunsinmyoven.com/2011/05/04/cream-of-chicken-soup-substitute/)

I've been avoiding "Cream of" soups for awhile now but we have a few family favorites that call for it so this week I searched Google for a replacement.  I found this and used it in a homemade chicken noodle soup.  It worked great.  I'll definitely try it again.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup milk
• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. When melted, whisk in the flour and continue whisking until smooth and bubbly. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Return to the heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly, until the soup thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Substitute this for one can of cream of chicken soup.
