When I first realized that I would have to prepare meals from scratch, I was especially overwhelmed with all of the casseroles, gravies and soups I wouldn’t be able to prepare because they called for canned cream of chicken soup. After creating this cream of chicken soup recipe, those worries became a thing of the past and so many meal opportunities have opened up now that I know how to whip up this delicious homemade cream of chicken base.
