What You Need
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of onion, diced
- 1/2 cup main ingredient – your choice
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup broth ( Veggie or Chicken)
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- pinch of salt
What To Do
Place a small amount of butter in a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add onions + main ingredient ( vegetable) . Let the onions + main ingredient cook for about 6 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
Add rest of butter to the skillet and melt. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add in milk and broth. Add cooked veggies and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
You can refrigerate soup up to 4 days in the fridge or you can “freeze” the soup. I freeze the soup in Ziploc baggies.

Thanks. I’ve been trying to figure out how I’m going to make some of my favorite recipes without using canned cream of…. Trying to avoid BPA when I can.
Just FYI…I heart you! This is great! I have been looking for this exact thing for ages! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Do you have a suggestion for how to make cream of chicken? My husband loves it.
I made this tonight and added it into my Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole instead of canned soup. I usually avoid recipes that call for the canned soup because it kills me to pay $1 per can. This was Perfect. Thanks!
Yay!!! I love this recipe
So this can be used for any cream of”something” if you add chicken after its.cooked would you strain it so you dont get chicken chunks, same as mushroom and broccoli. I think those are the three I use the most when cooking.
Thanks!!
I’ve never seen it done this way!!!
I have a recipe for a POWDERED mix that can be made with…whatever, but I’ve never seen it made up and canned!!!
That would be pretty darn handy, when I’m in a rush!
BTW – I got the powdered mix version from Budget101.com , in case anyone’s interested!
Just wondering…will this work as a substitute for condensed tomato soup?
