- 4 cups Water
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper

Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and potatoes. Slice the carrots into thin rounds and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
Step 2
Trim the green beans and chop them into 2-inch pieces.
Step 3
Break the cauliflower into small florets and rinse under cold water.
Step 4
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the carrots, potatoes, and cauliflower to the pot. Allow to cook for 5 minutes.

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Pour the milk mixture into the pot with the vegetables. Stir gently to combine.
