Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (sliced thinly)
- 1 cup baby peas (frozen and thawed)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 servings cooked white rice, pasta, or toast
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Stir in the carrots, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the milk and continue stirring.
Simmer the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and peas. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve the Veggie a La King hot over cooked rice, pasta, or toasted bread. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
