heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Vegetable broth offers a lighter option while chicken broth is often less expensive.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foamy.

Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually add beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Stir in soy sauce, garlic, onion powder, and thyme, cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream until fully incorporated.

Season with Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
