Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) chicken broth
- 1.5 cups (355 ml) milk
- 0.5 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Broth Initiation: Heat chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium-high flame until it reaches a vigorous boil, creating a robust liquid foundation.
- Smooth Blending: Whisk flour, whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper in a separate bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture with zero lumps or granular texture.
- Liquid Integration: Gradually pour the milk-flour blend into the boiling broth, continuously whisking to ensure seamless incorporation and prevent any potential clumping, transforming the liquid into a cohesive, smooth base.
- Simmering Transformation: Reduce heat to medium-low, allowing the soup to gently simmer while periodically stirring to prevent底部焦化 and maintain an even, creamy consistency.
- Flavor Refinement: Cook for 8-12 minutes, observing the soup’s gradual thickening into a luxurious, velvety texture that elegantly coats a spoon, signaling the perfect creamy development.
- Resting and Serving: Remove from heat, letting the soup rest for 4-6 minutes to harmonize flavors and reach an ideal serving temperature before transferring to warm bowls.
Notes
- Prevent Lumps: Whisk flour and milk thoroughly before adding to hot broth to ensure a silky-smooth texture without clumps.
- Temperature Control: Maintain a gentle simmer after adding flour mixture to prevent burning and achieve perfect creamy consistency.
- Stirring Technique: Continuously stir soup while cooking to distribute heat evenly and prevent bottom scorching or sticking.
- Resting Period: Allow soup to rest 3-5 minutes after cooking to let flavors develop and reach ideal serving temperature.
