This may be a dumb question.. but, Whats chicken base?

Chicken base is a product which has the consistency of a paste and is made commercially by boiling down chicken soup for long periods of time until the water is removed. It keeps well under refrigeration. It is used as a replacement for chicken bouillon (which may be substituted when chicken base is not available) or better yet, use chicken stock if you have it.

What I recall chicken base is something like chicken bullion in granulated form instead of cubes. Look in the same place where they sell bullion in the grocery. It may be called soup base and there should be a beef and vegetable like product.

Wow check this out!

Yep -- that's it. I purchased McCormick's -- probably all the same though.

I made this tonight, and the comfort food was most appreciated.

It's barely above the single digits here after Friday night's snowstorm.

I'm sure the stick of butter won't kill me.

I used whole milk.

Thanks for the "old family recipe" that I'm telling everyone it is.

May you die full and happy Slab. There are some times there is no substitute for whole milk and butter.

It was quite good Saturday night, but not even 4 Rolaids would put a dent on my discomfort later.

I'm just not used to all that butter and milkfat. I used a stick of butter (4 oz as indicated) and whole milk.
