Great recipe my mom would fix for us, my favorite soup recipe- and we ate a lot of soup. It's pureed so if you don't like that, this isn't for you!

  • Put pureed mix in a bowl, rinse out saucepan and melt the butter on. med. heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk together (you are making a rue, like when you make a white sauce). Then add the milk.
