Ingredients & Variations

Cream of chicken soup is perfect to replace almost any "cream of" soup (although it's easy to make cream of mushrooms soup too).

BROTH Chicken broth is the natural choice for the base of this soup. Do not use low sodium, the salt is needed for full flavor in this recipe.

MILK Feel free to switch out the evaporated milk for light cream (or half and half). You can use milk in a pinch but it won't be as creamy!

CHICKEN I add a tiny bit of minced chicken to this recipe but it isn't required if you don't have it on hand. The flavor comes from the chicken broth.
