Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) chicken
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) poultry seasoning
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) onion powder
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Liquid Foundation: Heat chicken broth in a deep saucepan over medium-high flame until it reaches a robust boil, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
- Smooth Integration: Craft a silken blend by whisking flour, milk, and seasonings in a separate vessel, ensuring a lump-free mixture that will contribute to the soup’s creamy consistency.
- Textural Transformation: Slowly stream the flour-milk emulsion into the bubbling broth, continuously stirring to prevent clumping and maintain a luxurious, velvety texture.
- Gentle Simmering: Reduce heat to medium-low, periodically stirring the soup to prevent scorching and promote even thickening while allowing flavors to meld harmoniously.
- Final Refinement: Simmer the soup for 6-10 minutes, monitoring its consistency until it reaches a rich, decadent thickness that promises a comforting culinary experience.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk flour and milk mixture thoroughly to eliminate clumps, ensuring a smooth, silky soup texture.
- Stir Constantly: Keep stirring the soup while adding flour mixture and during simmering to avoid burning and achieve even thickening.
- Temperature Control: Use medium-low heat after initial boiling to maintain gentle simmering and prevent scorching the bottom of the pan.
- Resting Time: Allow soup to cool slightly after cooking, which helps develop deeper flavors and improves overall consistency.
