Ingredients

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic - minced

¾ cup diced celery

¾ cup diced carrots

  • In a large pot over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in 1 tbsp of butter.
  • Once the onions start to get translucent add in the carrots, celery and mushrooms.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and flour.
  • Stir in contents of rice seasoning packet into the saucepan with the melted butter (NOT the rice).
  • Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by adding 1-2 tablespoons at a time, to form a roux.
  • Whisk in milk, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until warm, 5 minutes.
