There are many ways to make a chicken cream, which usually vary in the use of different ingredients.

However, this time we will follow the traditional recipe.  So read our recommendations carefully and you will be able to prepare this cream shortly.

Ingredients

• Half cup of flour
• A cup of whole milk
• Half a cup of heavy cream
• 3 cups of chicken broth
• 1 chicken breast
• Pepper
• Salt

How do I make my cream of chicken soup?

Step one: chop the chicken

To begin with, it is best to leave the chicken ready to be incorporated into the cream later. Therefore, we take the breasts and we will chop them into small squares.  We have to reserve them for when we are going to use them.

Mix the flour, dairy, and chicken broth

Once the chicken is chopped,  we must melt the butter over medium heat in a large, deep pot. When it is completely liquid, add the flour and mix both ingredients very well. We have to be vigilant, as it should not brown.

When our mixture has taken consistency and is uniform, we add the milk, the cream and the chicken broth.

We will cook until a good part of the liquid is reduced, without ever stopping beating. This way it will thicken faster.

To finish: add the chicken, salt and pepper

When it has thickened, we can  correct the salt, add the pepper and the diced chicken and lower the heat, so that it cooks slowly.

Now we simply have to wait until the cream bubbles, stirring from time to time so that it does not burn. Once it boils, it is ready to be served.
