Do you know how to make cream of chicken soup? The k you for this recipe. We can’t eat the canned and I haven’t been able to find a good recipe. Thank you.
we make ours simple.. Melt one stick of butter in a pan. add 4 cups chicken broth. we make ours with chicken bouillon and water. bring to a boil and then whisk in 1 cup flour. add salt and pepper to taste. I hope this helps:)
Can you make this type in big batches & freeze as cream base for later? How do you freeze yours? And how long is it safe to keep frozen?
I make it each month and freeze my portions. I pull them out and add them to my recipes. I have let them freeze for about two months so far. I freeze in my deli plastic containers or with the recipes I put them in .
Hi Ms. Amy,
My name is Tonia and I love in the sister Caroline state (Waving)…lol.
I have just come across your channel not to long ago (which I absolutely love btw) and if I have missed the answer to this I do apologize in advance. Can you freeze your homemade cream of soups and if so is the texture or taste different than when fresh? As in is it a real difference in taste?
Thanks so much for your time, love your channel love your beautiful family
A new fan,
Tonia
Thank you for watching. I have only used them for casseroles so I havent noticed much difference in texture:)
Do you drain the canned mushrooms? And can this be frozen after making?
yes …we freeze ours
Hi Amy,
Greetings from Kentucky to you and your beautiful family. I have just discovered your videos and have been loving them! I don’t have a large family, it’s just me and my husband and our daughter, but I do cook a lot and I find that I never have a can of cream of chicken or mushroom when I need it. So I want to use your recipe to make some. My question is…you always make a huge batch, how many times do you multiply this recipe when you make it? Thanks in advance!
PS. Maxine is so adorable!! We have a basset hound puppy named Ellie Mae that I am so in love with.
Have a Blessed day,
Nancy
It is so nice to meet you:) Love the puppy…Ellie Mae…ohhhh so sweet:) I am bad with using the same amounts:) The reason I don’t have a cookbook:) I usually do one stick of butter and then one whole container of mushrooms from sams club. The big ones..I do one large onion chopped and then saute that. Add 1-2 tsp garlic and then as it softens, sprinkle flour…..aim for 1 cup…..stir as it coats the veggies and you cant coat anymore…then it is enough:) I then sprinkle beef bouillon on it…do less if you are unfamiliar with how much to add. THen add water. I usually fill 1/2 -3/4 full in chicken fryer. THen use immersian blender or put all in food processor…Taste and see what it tastes like….need more beef, add more. You want it a little stronger because you will be adding more milk. Then do as much milk as you would like. I do less so I can freeze it. I hope this helps…..You got this
I love your you tube channel, you are very inspirational. I’m fixing your cream of chicken soup t tomorrow to put in my potato casserole, and freeze the rest. How long are the soups good in freezer? Thank you.

MOnths;) just keep covered and they will last..i have had mine go for three months. I am glad you enjoy watching:)
I’m a new fan! Love, Love your channel. You are so inspirational. I’m cooking for 2, but hubby usually eats three portions of what ever I make, so I look forward to making some of your recipes. It looks like you freeze the double batch of cream soup in one container? How much would you portion and freeze if you did not use it all in recipes?
So nice to meet you…I would do a can sized amount and then freeze that…it is one of my pint sized containers:)
For the Cream of Chicken Recipe Do I add the Mushroom, onion and Garlic?
Thank You Amy!
Have a blessed day.
no just chicken
