Description

Rustic Homestyle Chicken Soup delivers comfort with rich, hearty flavors from classic ingredients. Chicken, vegetables, and herbs simmer together, creating a nourishing bowl you’ll crave on chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 0 chicken
  • 2 cups (473 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups (355 ml) milk
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Broth Activation: Elevate chicken broth in a saucepan to a robust boil over medium-high heat, preparing the foundation for a velvety soup experience.
  2. Blending Harmony: Whisk flour, milk, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and garlic powder in a separate bowl until achieving a seamless, lump-free mixture that promises silky texture.
  3. Liquid Integration: Gently cascade the milk-flour fusion into the roiling broth, employing continuous stirring to create a uniform, smooth base that prevents unwanted clumping and ensures consistent quality.
  4. Thermal Transformation: Reduce heat to medium-low, persistently stirring the developing soup to cultivate an even thickness and safeguard against potential burning, allowing the ingredients to meld and transform.
  5. Sensory Refinement: Assess the soup’s evolving consistency, aiming for a creamy crescendo that typically emerges after 6-10 minutes of delicate simmering, watching for the perfect textural balance.
  6. Flavor Calibration: Introduce salt and pepper with a discerning palate, adjusting seasonings to craft a personalized taste profile that resonates with comfort and depth.
  7. Culinary Presentation: Transfer the aromatic creation into serving vessels, allowing a brief moment of rest to harmonize flavors, then serve as a nourishing, soul-warming dish that embodies homestyle elegance.

Notes

  • Prevent Lumpy Texture: Whisk milk-flour mixture thoroughly to eliminate clumps and achieve a silky smooth consistency.

  • Season Strategically: Taste and adjust seasonings incrementally to develop a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
