This gluten-free cream of chicken soup base works for chicken, mushroom, celery, or any other condensed cream of soups you need. It's quick, easy, and only takes a handful of ingredients.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter (or fat of choice).
Whisk corn starch or xanthan gum in a small amount of the broth (or water) before adding to the butter.
Add the mixture to butter, and whisk briskly to combine.
Slowly whisk in the remaining liquids. Bring to a simmer (just under a boil), adding more liquid if it becomes too thick. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat and stir in salt and dash of pepper.
Notes
You may need to use up to 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch to get the right consistency.
Remember, the soup will continue to thicken as it cools.
Add in chicken, mushrooms, celery, onions, or any other add-ins to make it whatever gluten-free cream of soup you need.
