Notes

dairy-free adaptations

To make gluten-free, dairy-free cream of chicken soup, replace the butter with avocado oil and use unsweetened non-dairy milk.

For a vegan recipe, replace the butter with avocado oil, chicken broth with vegetable broth, and use unsweetened non-dairy milk.

storing / freezing notes

Either the condensed or ready-to-eat version may be refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Condensed cream of chicken soup may be frozen for later use or to have on hand for casseroles. Freeze in a glass mason jar, or other airtight container, leaving headroom for the soup to expand upon freezing.
