"Souper" Easy and Sooooo Good! Here is a quick easy recipe for those times you need a good meal or meal compliment. Add your favorite sandwich and crackers or eat as a meal.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter (margarine contains too much water and you won't get the same result.)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups milk (use skim milk for a lower fat alternative)
  • 4 chicken stock cubes or 4 teaspoon chicken stock
  • 2-3 cups vegetables (or whatever combination you desire)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a soup pot, Melt 1 1/2 Tbs of butter (Do not burn it!).
  2. 2
    Add 1 1/2 Tbs of flour.
  3. 3
    Add a dash of salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Stir it together, it should look like a thin dough.
  5. 5
    If it looks too thin you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much or your soup will taste bland no matter what you do to it.
  6. 6
    Stir around for about 5 minutes (DO NOT BURN!!) If you accidentally burn it, throw it away and start over.
  7. 7
    Add 4 cups of milk, blend well (a wire whisk works great for this).
  8. 8
    Add 4 cubes or 4 tsp granulated chicken stock, dissolve and blend well.
  9. 9
    Add 2-3 cups of vegetables, cooked chicken, etc.
  10. 10
    Simmer for 30 minutes stirring frequently, soup will thicken, do not allow it to boil and do not burn it.

Wonderful Soup. I added carrots, onion, snow peas, green pepper, potatoes and whatever else I could find in my fridge to use up. This was just what I was looking for. I added garlic and a bay leaf. Thanks, just what I need for tonight and it had great flavor.

    Thanks for posting this, Christy. I will use a salt substitute since I am on a low salt cardiac diet. All the store-bought cream soups are loaded with sodium, so I can't have them. Thanks again.
