Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- 2 cups Milk (whole milk or plant-based alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, sprinkle in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, whisking constantly to create a smooth roux. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes, ensuring it does not brown.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth (or vegetable broth), whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Once the broth is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken slightly, slowly add the milk, continuing to whisk to maintain a smooth texture.
Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches the desired thickness.
Add the salt and ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste. Stir well to combine.
Remove the soup base from the heat. It is now ready to be used as-is, or you can add additional ingredients (like cooked chicken, mushrooms, or vegetables) to create your own soup.
