Soup Base:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Create Roux: Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until it forms a smooth roux.
  3. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Cook: Cook for 4–5 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. Season and Finish: Stir in the shredded chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  6. Serve or Store: Use immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • You can substitute the milk with half-and-half for a richer texture.
