homemade cream of chicken condensed soup

- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Instructions
- For the homemade condensed cream of chicken soup, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk. Cook 1 minute. Stir in water and whisk to remove any lumps.
- Simmer until thick, then stir in milk and chicken bouillon paste plus the seasonings. The sauce should thicken slightly at this point. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.

- Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or until potatoes are soft and sausages are hot. Serve with a little more cheese on top, if desired.

Notes
*Chicken bouillon paste is similar to bouillon cubes but in a paste form. It's found in jars right next to the boxes of chicken stock. If you don't have this ingredient, simply use either powdered or cubed bouillon (enough for 2 cups of liquid according to directions on the packaging) OR 1 cup of chicken stock instead of water and add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning.
