Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Thyme leaves (dried or fresh)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Carrot, diced
• 1 large Celery stalk, diced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2–3 minutes until it turns a light golden color and no raw flour scent remains.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the beef broth, one cup at a time, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Add the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine the seasonings.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrot, celery, and chopped onion. Reduce the heat to low-medium and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 6

Simmer the soup for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the soup thickens slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.

Step 8

Ladle the hot gravy soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
