Hi friend!
Today I’m going to be showing you how easy it is to ditch the can and make your own cream of soup. If you have a recipe that calls for a can of Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken I have you covered with these three recipes.
I use a few Amazon products in this recipe are:
