Instructions

Tap a step to mark it done

1 Melt butter and add chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and mix together over medium heat.
2 Add room temperature cream and milk and allow it to reduce by 1/4, stirring often, reincorporating any “skin” that forms on the surface, gently simmering for 8-10 minutes
3 Make a slurry with cornstarch and some of the cream-milk mixture. Add the slurry to the pan, and stir to thicken. Once the soup has reduced or thickened to about 2/3 of its original volume, it’s done!
