I love this recipe! It’s very basic and easy to adjust to whatever you feel like adding. Now, what I do is use 2 cups hot water mixed with 2 teaspoons chicken soup base (not the dry bouillon … that was nasty. The paste you buy in jars). Turns out better than the instant chicken gravy packets and is much cheaper, especially if you are like us and want more than just a cup of gravy.
