Servings 4 pints

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp table salt OR seasonal all salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously to create a smooth roux. Let the roux cook for about 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Add the chicken bouillon cubes and continue whisking until they dissolve into the mixture.
  • Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken.
  • Stir in the celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a condensed consistency.
  • Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings if needed.
  • Allow the condensed cream of chicken soup to cool slightly before transferring it to pint-sized jars. Seal the jars tightly and store them in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze them for longer storage.
  • Your homemade condensed cream of chicken soup is now ready to work its magic in a variety of dishes. Whether you're whipping up a casserole, a creamy chicken pot pie, or simply enjoying a comforting bowl of soup, your culinary creations are about to reach a new level of deliciousness. Enjoy!
