Ingredients

2 Tbsp salted butter ($0.22)

2 tsp chicken bouillon ($0.18)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1 tsp onion powder ($0.05)

½ tsp salt ($0.01)

½ cup heavy whipping cream (room temperature, $0.66)

1 cup whole milk (room temperature, $0.28)

1 tsp cornstarch ($0.05)

Instructions

1 Melt butter and add chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and mix together over medium heat.

2 Add room temperature cream and milk and allow it to reduce by 1/4, stirring often, reincorporating any “skin” that forms on the surface, gently simmering for 8-10 minutes

3 Make a slurry with cornstarch and some of the cream-milk mixture. Add the slurry to the pan, and stir to thicken. Once the soup has reduced or thickened to about 2/3 of its original volume, it’s done!
