Crystal’s Creamy Soup Base

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, washed and peeled
• 2 tsp garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 3/4 cup water OR broth
• 3 tbs butter
• 1/8 to 1/4 cup cassava flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened ‘milk’

Method:

• Using a food processor, combine onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and broth.*
• Preheat sauce pan for 2 minutes on medium heat (gas mark 5)
• Put butter in sauce pan to melt.
• Add 1/8 cup cassava flour and combine with a whisk.
• Add 3/4 cup unsweetened ‘milk’ to your roux. Don’t wait, just put it in there… because the flour isn’t gluten-based, it doesn’t matter.
• Once the contents of the sauce pan are completely mixed together with the whisk, dump in the contents of the processor’s reservoir.
• Cook for five minutes to encourage thickening.

Add 1 cup of cheese OR 1 cup of whatever vegetable you want it to taste like.

*If you don’t have a food processor, you can use an immersion blender.
