In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a smooth roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Pour in the whole milk and continue whisking until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the finely shredded cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup reaches the desired condensed consistency and is smooth and creamy.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before using in your recipe or storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
