Creamy White Sauce (Low-Fat)
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons finely minced onion
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 cups skim milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tsp chicken base or bouillon granules
salt and pepper, to taste
freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shredded cheddar cheese, optional
Directions:
Cook onion and broth in a 1-quart saucepan until liquid is almost all cooked away.
In a small bowl, whisk flour with the skim milk. Add to the saucepan and continue to cook, whisking, until sauce begins to thicken. Add wine and soup base; taste and season with salt and pepper.
If desired, blend in a few tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a little shredded Cheddar cheese, and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes longer, until well blended.
My mom likes to mix in a can of salmon, and make a salmon gravy to put over potatoes or pasta. It's an Alaskan thing, but it's good.
