Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tablespoons butter or coconut oil for non-dairy
  • 3 Tablespoons flour plus one more Tablespoon, if needed
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or beef broth
  • 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • dash pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter (or other fat) in a large pot over medium heat. (If you want to add some caramelized onions, toss in about ½ cup of freshly diced sweet onions and caramelize them in the butter.)
  • Whisk in the flour to make a thick paste, stirring constantly so that the butter doesn’t brown or burn.
  • To the butter and onion mixture add the milk or cream and simmer (but do not bring to a boil)  over medium-low heat for just a couple of minutes. If it is too thick, add more liquid. Remember, it will get thicker as it cools.
  • Now reduce heat and season with salt and dash of pepper.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
