Creamy chicken soup from scratch?
I've tried twice to turn homemade chicken stock into a creamy soup, and both times I've gotten gravy. Tasty gravy, mind you. I'm trying to thicken it with flour and potatoes (cooking them in the stock and then pureeing it), rather than using cream. But it's just not turning out. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Creamy chicken soup from scratch?
Sour cream Makes an amazing soup too. I cook a whole chicken in plain water, about 3-4 quarts, for 1.5 hours and then debone and add the shredded chicken back into the water along with some better than chicken bouillon (but if you have homemade stock, so much the better). Then I turn off the heat and whisk in about 8 oz. sour cream

Re: Creamy chicken soup from scratch?
That gives you a thick texture, too? To me creamy soups are thick (what I'm ending up with is the texture of somewhat thinned gravy).

Yes, it significantly thickens it :yep you could also use a little cornstarch and whisk it in.

I use this recipie to make a condensed soup to use in casseroles. I have just added more liquid and some shredded chicken and ate it as a soup too. Bonus is that it's dairy free.
