Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and saute 1 minute. Add flour and stir quickly, forming a paste and mixing well (making a roux). SLOWLY add milk a little at a time, while stirring constantly to avoid scalding.
- Once milk is added and mixed well, reduce heat to medium-low and add herbs. Add salt/pepper to your liking. Turn off the heat and let the soup simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. Use as a soup base or pour into your casserole (soup will thicken a bit more as the casserole bakes).

GLUTEN FREE CREAM SOUP BASE (POWDERED)
This is from Bette Hagman and is used in some of her recipes that I will post. You can make it dairy free also. I use rice milk powder in recipe #189271. You could use either recipe interchangeably. There are variations after the recipe instructions. It makes enough for 8-9 cans of soup. For dairy free, according to Bette, you could use the powdered baby formula Isomil or Pregestimil also.
