  2. Melt ¼ cup of butter in a medium saucepan, add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour to form a roux, then whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of salt, bring to a gentle boil and cook until slightly thickened.
