Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Thyme leaves (dried or fresh)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Carrot, diced
- 1 large Celery stalk, diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2–3 minutes until it turns a light golden color and no raw flour scent remains.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, one cup at a time, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine the seasonings.
Stir in the diced carrot, celery, and chopped onion. Reduce the heat to low-medium and cover the pot with a lid.
Simmer the soup for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the soup thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Ladle the hot gravy soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
