instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and chopping the carrots into small, bite-sized pieces.

    2

    In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

    3

    Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir well to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes until it’s lightly golden.

    4

    Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer, about 3 to 5 minutes.

    5

    Add the chopped carrots, peas, and corn to the pot, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

    6

    Let this simmer for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    7

    Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
