This is a Basics Dish. Full Recipe: Main Recipe List Shopping List: chicken stock |
3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup flour 4 cups milk 2 cups chicken stock Chopped onions (optional) Melt butter over low heat. If using onions for extra flavor, saute in butter until limp. Add flour and whisk together until smooth. Cook 1 minute. Do not let it brown! Gradually add milk and chicken stock, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when sauce has thickened. This may take up to 15-20 minutes. Options: Cream of celery: Sautee a stalk or two of chopped celery with the butter before adding flour. Cream of mushroom: Sautee chopped fresh mushrooms in butter. Cream of broccoli: Add chopped steamed broccoli to the soup after it thickens. Cheesy sauce: Add shredded cheese (sharp cheddar gives the most flavor) after removing from heat. Stir to melt. If you want to make a big batch of soup and have different flavors, you can always saute mushrooms or celery separately and simply add to the finished soup, one can-equivalent at a time. |
