Once the butter is melted, add the all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously to create a roux, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden brown.

Gradually add the vegetable broth to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Once the broth is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth, add the milk and continue to stir.
Seasoning

Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme to the mixture. Stir well.
