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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Slowly whisk in the milk and broth, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. You should achieve a consistency similar to canned creamed soup.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.

Step 6

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.
