1 1/2 sticks of butter (I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine)
3/4 C Flour
1 C Milk
1 C Heavy Cream (I use fat free 1/2 and 1/2)
6 C chicken broth
2 C chopped cooked chicken
Salt and Pepper to taste
Fresh Parsley or green onions, chopped as a garnish
Make a roux with the butter and flour and cook for 2 minutes. Heat broth, milk and cream and add a little at a time to the roux unit the mixture thickens. Blend until smooth. When soup starts to boil add chicken and seasonings. Garnish. Serves 6 to 8
This is the basic recipe ... I usually will sauté some celery, onion and slivered carrots and add that at the chicken, this adds some great flavor.
