Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour and cook 2-3 minutes, until bubbling and slightly darker
- Add the milk a little at a time, whisking well after each addition, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes
- Stir in the cheddar until melted though, remove from heat
Notes
- Whisk the flour and the butter together while it cooks and don't stop whisking it. This will help prevent lumps.
- Make sure to whisk the milk in well and gradually. This also helps keep the soup smooth and creamy.
- Don't use low fat milk. It won't thicken as nicely.
