Ingredients

• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley or chives
• 1 T. butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 T. all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 c. whole milk

• 1 t. garlic salt

Steps

1. Combine onion, parsley, butter, and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat; cook, stirring until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
