Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup(replacing the canned stuff)

There are many recipes that call for a can of condensed cream of chicken soup.  This works perfectly as a substitute. I double this when I make funeral potato casserole.

2 TBSP butter
2 TBSP flour
1 C Swanson's chicken broth, lower sodium version
2 oz light cream cheese, softened
salt & pepper to taste

Melt the butter, then stir in the flour to make your roux.  Then slowly whisk in the broth.  When that is warmed through, stir in the cream cheese.  Season as desired and let come to a boil for 1-2 minutes to thicken.

**I also add onion powder, or Italian seasonings, etc depending on what dish I am making.
