Steps:
- 1. Melt your butter in the sauce pot, Once melted, add your bouillon cube and stir. Then add the flour, whisking to create a roux.
- 2. Let the roux cook for about 2 1/2 mins then add your can of broth. Stir until combined, Once thickened, add the half & half.
- 3. Whisk until smooth, and make sure the bouillon cube has dissolved. Set aside to cool, and you're done! Ready for your casserole or soup in a jiffy! :)
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and broccoli.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of paprika, cumin, or thyme can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
- Use a good quality broth or stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any homemade broth or stock on hand, you can use store-bought broth or stock. Just be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Don't overcook your vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make your soup look and taste unappetizing.
- Serve your soup with a garnish. This could be anything from a simple sprinkle of parsley to a dollop of sour cream. A garnish will help to brighten up your soup and make it more visually appealing.
Conclusion:
Cream soups are a delicious and comforting meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a creamy soup that is both healthy and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these cream soup recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
