"I would not be surprised if nobody else makes this, as I have designed the recipe around our lifestyle. I make this soup the day after I roast a whole chicken. But it is singularly the best soup that I have ever made, so I'm posting it here for posterity. Anyone brave enough to go through the steps will not be disappointed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
First, I brine a whole chicken for 24 hours, then I roast it with 6 cups of chicken broth in the roasting pan at 375F approx. 2 hours or until internal temperature is 180F and then have a meal.
Step 2
The next day, I debone the carcass and freeze it for making more chicken broth in the future. This leaves the 2 cups of cooked chicken and the broth needed for this recipe.
Step 3
Now to make soup - melt butter in a large sauce pan
Step 4
Add onion and garlic and saute until soft
Step 5
Add flour and whisk to mix in well
Step 6
Add Milk, Cream and Chicken Stock slowly while constantly whisking
Step 7
Cook while whisking until mixture thickens and comes to a boil
Step 8
Reduce heat and stir in chicken and remaining seasonings.
