Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute Challenge

Sometimes I make recipes with cream of chicken soup. I especially like using them in the crockpot. Now, before you get all crazy on me, I do try to get the Healthy Request kind which don't have evil MSG lurking in them. But, they are expensive and I have to throw away a can every time I'm done.

I am hoping to find a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe that meets my exacting standards.

The recipe I'm looking for:
1. Is Cheap (less than $1.50/can equivalent)
2. Is Easy to make (I've got an 18-month-old here.)
3. Doesn't curdle in the crockpot
4. Is Made with normal ingredients (don't even try to sneak cream of mushroom soup in here people!)

Please post links to your recipe or one that works for you! Recipes in the comment section work too! Your help is much appreciated.
