- Make the mixture. In another container, whisk together the flour, your desired seasoning, and another cup of milk until a thick consistency is achieved.
- Bring ingredients together. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir until well combined. Stirring should be done for at least 5 to 10 minutes or when the mixture has become smooth.
- Serve. Bring the boil to a stop and let it cool. You will notice that it will thicken when cooled and that is normal. Serve it warm.

How to store Cream of Chicken Soup?
To lengthen the shelf life of this dish, you only have to store them just like salads. You need to keep them in a bowl or container made with plastic or glass.
Afterward, cover it with a lid if there is one or seal it with a plastic wrap. For convenience, I usually store it in resealable containers before letting it chill in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Recipe tips:
- Make sure to get or cook a high-quality chicken broth. It affects more than 50% of the flavor of the dish which is why it is so important. For a simple and delicious variation, check out my recipe for Chicken Stock.
- Add seasonings one at a time. You can put in onion and garlic powder but be sure to do it carefully as to not overpower the dish.
- Browning the chicken, cooking vegetables first, and using the pan afterward to place in the mixture is a great technique. It adds flavor by deglazing the pan and using it as a base for the mixture.
- Store-bought are also good however, they do not have the same nutritional value as a homemade one. So, if you are feeding somebody who is sick, make sure to cook one personally.
