Start by heating a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Add 4 tablespoons of salted butter to the skillet and melt it down.

Once melted, add in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until it is crumbly like sand.

Reduce the heat to low and continue mixing until crumbly.

Gradually add in 3 cups of chicken broth while whisking to combine.

Use 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon mixed with 3 cups of water for the broth, or use store-bought broth.

Continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.

Add in 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken base for flavor.

Pour in 1 cup of reduced fat milk (or heavy cream) and mix until smooth and creamy.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 4 teaspoons black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, along with salt to taste.

Mix everything to combine well and check for seasoning.

Optionally, strain the soup through a mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture.

Transfer the soup to a 16 oz jar or airtight container for storage.
