2 tablespoons flour

1 to 2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon basil

Steps:

  • In a large heavy soup pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter on low. Be careful not to burn. Add onion and celery; saute over medium heat until onions are transparent. Remove heat and set aside. In double boiler melt the rest of the butter, add flour and whisk until blended. Slowly add 1 can of milk, continue to whisk, make sure that the flour and butter mix completely with the milk. Add this white sauce to sauteed onions and celery. Over medium heat stir in remaining milk, stock and reserved liquid. Stir until the consistency is smooth. Add remaining vegetables and season. Bring to a low boil turn down immediately to low or simmer. Cook about 30 minutes (could be more or less) Stir occasionally to make sure milk does not scald. Serve hot Cooks Note: While cooking it is a judgement call as to the cooking covered or uncovered. If liquid is not thickening, leave lid off. If it is too thick, add some water and cook with lid on. Play with the recipe.
