Buff's Totally Awesome Chicken Stew!

[BarredBuff]

Ingredients
1 Quart and a Pint of Chicken Broth
1 Pint of Water
2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
2 Cups(ish) of Chopped Cooked Chicken
1 Quart of Mixed Vegetables (Peas, Carrots, Corn, Cabbage, Tomato, Potatoes)
3 Medium Potatoes (Cubed)
1 Small Onion (Diced)
Half Pint of Heavy Whipping Cream

Sage to Taste
Poultry Seasoning (Optional) to Taste
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Onion Powder to Taste

Directions

In a large pot empy the broth, water and chicken, and bring to a boil. Stir in the potatoes and onions. Continue to boil. After around 5 minute add the mixed veggies, and cream of chicken soups. Simmer for 15 minutes. Begin seasoning, and add whipping cream. Simmer for a couple of minutes. Then the masterpiece is done.

I actually made this out of my head today and it was divine!!! We are having it for dinner tomorrow night (b/c tonight me and sis were gone to Dads and we are going somewhere tomorrow) , and I was using up last night's roasted chicken. It is amazing, the cream is what makes it good. This is thinner than really thick stew, but oh so good.

Rats, you answered my question! I never keep cream in the house (well, not at the moment ) and was wondering if I could just add a little milk + corn starch or something. Now I'm going to have to go to the store for some cream, so I can try this BB

We usually don't either but I had some that I didnt make butter from, and I just through it in there for the heck of it. It's good you should make some, even my stubborn picky sis liked it

Interesting, we're not into creamy soups much - except those with cheeses added. Sounds good though with all the fresh stuff.

Their the kinds I crave. It is good, all of it was home grown except the raw taters, and cream

Sounds delish!

For anyone who, like us, doesn't buy canned soup--you can substitute a homemade version :

Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup Recipe

Grind: 4 T of any white bean (lima, navy, etc.) to make 5 T bean flour
Combine: 5 T bean flour, 1 c. water , 4 t chicken bouillon into a saucepan
Cook: On stovetop at medium temperature until thick and delicious (whisk frequently).The soup should cook in 3 minutes! (this may be longer if your grinder makes a very coarse flour).

Use this with cooked veggies and or meat for a complete meal. You can also add this to recipes calling for cream of chicken soup cans (I have found this replaces a can plus the water or milk in recipes).

We use organic chicken bouillon granules from the natural foods store

Thanks for sharing Moolie! What does T stand for?

Capital "T" is tablespoon, lowercase "t" is teaspoon (in most recipes anyway). Whenever I've made it that way it works out just fine
