14 Ways To Boost Your Dishes Using Canned Cream Of Chicken Soup
BY KIRSTEN NUNEZ
Casserole Base
The sauce is a crucial part of a casserole, as it adds flavor and moisture and binds the ingredients together. You can use cream of chicken soup as the sauce.
Canned cream of chicken soup is creamy, savory, and versatile enough to pair with a myriad of ingredients. It can quickly and effortlessly replace a casserole sauce.
Scalloped Potatoes
If you want your scalloped potatoes to have a creamier consistency, simply add cream of chicken soup. Doing so will also incorporate savory notes to your dish.
You'll just need to thin the condensed soup with a splash of milk or chicken broth. This enables the soup to completely coat the potatoes, ensuring maximum flavor.
Chicken Pot Pie
A canned cream of chicken soup contains many of the same ingredients as a basic pot pie sauce, so you can easily save time by using the canned version instead.
To use this hack, simply dilute the soup with a bit of milk, then stir in your pot pie fillings as usual. If you don't have milk, a bit of chicken broth will do.
Chicken Noodle Soup
Give noodle soup a cozy twist with canned cream of chicken soup. This emphasizes the chicken flavor while turning the dish into a creamy chicken noodle soup.
Avoid diluting the cream of chicken before adding it to the chicken noodle soup, as it already has broth that will naturally thin the condensed cream.
Homemade Fried Chicken
Canned cream of chicken soup is the unlikely key to juicy fried chicken. It adds a punch of flavor, and the additional liquid paves the way for moist chicken.
The trick is to combine the cream of chicken soup with the liquid portion of your coating. However, if you use too much canned soup, you may end up with soggy fried chicken.
