Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup.

I was in the middle of making a dish one day, went to my cupboard to grab a can of cream of chicken soup and realized I was all out.... After a quick google search, there where hundreds of recipes, I picked one that looked the easiest and made that, over a coarse of a few weeks, I developed my own, cost less than .50 to make, and is sooooooooooo much better tasting!

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons Butter
1 Cup half and half
1 Cup water
3 bullion cubes



Mix half and half and water together, set aside.  Melt butter and flour together until it becomes a thick paste, SLOWLY, I can not stress that enough, add in your half and half and water mixture, just a little at a time, stirring in between, once you get about half the liquid in, you can poor the rest in, but that first half has to be done a splash at a time to prevent your flour from clumping.  Once all liquid is in put your bullion cubes in and whisk away, I keep mine on a medium heat the whole time, takes about 7 mins from adding in all the liquid to get the thickness i prefer, your time will depend on how thick you want it.
