I am always looking for things to do to make my family healthier, but big changes do not go over very well.  I do a lot of things that my husband or kids do not even realize I am doing.  

I love casseroles!  My husband calls me the one-pot wonder.  If I can make a meal in one dish or pan, I do.  Many of those recipes call for a cream soup, cream of mushroom or cream of chicken.  I have been making my own cream of chicken soup for years and thought I would share it with you.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon onion
• 1 1/4 cups milk

This can be used in any recipe that calls for a can of soup. I can not tell the difference and neither can my family!

Melt the butter.

When the butter is melted, add in 2 tablespoons of flour.  Mix well.

Add in 1 teaspoon salt.

Add in 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 1 bouillon cube.

Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.

Add 1 1/4 cups milk.

Stir well and bring to a boil.  Once at a low boil, simmer until thick, around 15 minutes.
