The onions melt and become sweet, and using chicken drumettes adds a delicious broth! It goes well with white rice.

Steps

1

Cut the carrots into chunks and the onions into large pieces.
2

Add the carrots, onions, chicken drumettes, water, and bay leaves to a pot and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, then add the milk and continue to simmer.
3

Since potatoes can easily fall apart, pre-cook them using a steamer or microwave. It's okay if they're slightly firm as long as they're mostly cooked through.
4

For the white sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan. Once melted, add the flour and mix thoroughly until well combined.
5

Gradually add the milk to the mixture in step 4, stirring continuously. It should become thick. At this point, it will be quite firm.
6

Add the potatoes to the pot with the vegetables and meat. Simmer on low heat until the potatoes are fully cooked.
7

Mix some of the soup from the pot into the white sauce until it reaches a smooth consistency.
8

Add the white sauce to the pot in step 6 and simmer on low heat for a few minutes until it thickens. Adjust the flavor with honey, sugar, salt, and white pepper.
