At its heart, this recipe is a thick, savory sauce that mimics the consistency of canned condensed soup. By swapping in different add-ins like sautéed mushrooms, cooked chicken, or diced celery, you can customize it to suit any dish. It’s a flexible, go-to recipe that transforms into exactly what you need.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)

  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best)

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 cup add-ins of choice (mushrooms, diced chicken, or celery, pre-cooked)

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the butter

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.

Step 2: Make the roux

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 3: Add liquids

Slowly pour in the broth while whisking, followed by the milk. Continue whisking until smooth.

Step 4: Season the mixture

Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Thicken to the desired consistency

Simmer for 5–7 minutes, whisking often, until the soup thickens to a condensed-soup-like texture.

Step 6: Add flavor variations

Stir in your chosen add-in (mushrooms, chicken, or celery). Mix well and let simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

Step 7: Use or store

Use immediately in casseroles, sauces, or enjoy as a soup. Cool completely before storing.
