Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup

 I realized today that I haven’t posted anything in a while, so I thought I’d share a recipe I just posted in the Cookbook Challenge:

Tonight I made this Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup from Spend With Pennies.

Aside from leaving out the onion and celery (somebody around here doesn’t like them), I followed the recipe as-is. Without sautéing the carrot I expected them to be undercooked. I was right, but they were only a little bit firm - not a deal breaker. I expect the same would have happened with the celery, had I used them.

Overall not bad, but the heavy cream makes it a pretty rich soup. A small bowl with a salad is plenty for dinner. No word yet on how it reheats, but I’ll find out at lunch tomorrow. I’ll probably make this again, but I’m thinking I’ll try substituting table cream for the heavy cream, to see if it lightens it up a bit.

Enjoy.  =]
