Soup and Chili

This is perfect for using in place of canned soups in casseroles.  It's condensed, or concentrated, so you'll need to add further chicken sock or water to make into a soup.  Alternatively, use in place of canned condensed soup in casserole recipes!  

1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt

1 clove minced garlic
1/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp of your favorite dried herbs (oregano, tarragon, etc.)

1. In a large saucepan bring chicken stock to a boil.  
2. In a  bowl, whisk together milk and flour until the flour is dissolved.
3. Slowly pour the milk/flour mixture into the boiling chicken stock, stirring well to combine. 
4. Stir in remaining seasonings. Bring ring the mixture back to a very low boil, stirring constantly over low heat so that the mixture doesn't stick.
5. Boil gently until thick.
