Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

Seasoning

  1. 5

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

  2. 6

    Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Add-ins (Optional)

  1. 7

    If using, add the chopped vegetables and/or cooked meat to the gravy/soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Once thickened, remove from heat and serve hot as a gravy over your favorite dish or as a soup in bowls.
