Method

  • Cook vegetables in chicken broth until tender.
  • Prepare thin white sauce using butter, flour, and milk.
  • (I melted the butter and added the flour.
  • Then I added the milk to the mixture and stirred just until everything was combined, but I didn't worry about thickening the roux.
  • ).
  • Add white sauce to cooked vegetables.
  • (I stirred occasionally and the white sauce thickened nicely on it's own.
  • ).
