Receta Clean Eating Slow Cooker Cream Of Chicken Soup
Over the years, one question that has come up again and again is, “how do I replace cream of….”. This recipe is one that I developed for my first cookbook and I’ve used it ever since to substitute for the canned variety.
It’s versatile, so you can make substitutions pretty easily as needed. It’s not as thick as the canned stuff (nothing ever is… what DO they put in that stuff anyway?????!!), but you can thicken it further by stirring in extra flour or even some organic cornstarch or arrowroot powder. It has a lovely flavor and freezes well too. I like to portion this out for those “cream of…” recipes so that all I have to do is defrost a portion size of it for my recipe. Works well!
