Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup of the milk until smooth. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the soup to thicken it.
