1 stalk celery, diced
2 1/2 cups veggie broth
1 large bag frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green beans, carrots | or sub fresh)

Kosher salt and black pepper

To a large pot add the olive oil and heat on medium heat, then add onion and a pinch of salt and stir. Cook until soft – about 7 minutes. Add the flour and stir with a whisk, then slowly whisk in the broth. Add almond milk, Bells and stir. Simmer until the mixture is thickened (about 10 minutes). Once the sauce is thickened, add the frozen vegetables and cook for 4-5 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
