Cream of chicken is a savory, comforting soup made primarily from chicken stock, cooked chicken, flour, and cream, often thickened for a velvety texture. This dish originates from Western cuisine and is widely used as both a standalone soup and a base in casseroles or sauces. Rich in protein from the chicken, it can support muscle repair and overall health, though its high fat content from cream and potential sodium levels may pose concerns for individuals monitoring their intake. Commercial versions often contain preservatives and additives, so homemade options allow for better control of ingredients and nutritional balance. Cream of chicken is prized for its warming, hearty qualities, making it a staple in quick meals and recipes. Pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can elevate its nutritional profile while moderating calorie and fat content.
