Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to form a blonde roux. This removes the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the milk and broth, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and lump-free.
Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. You should achieve a consistency similar to canned creamed soup.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
Use the substitute immediately in your recipe or let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
