Béchamel sauce with broth is an exquisite variation of the classic French sauce, enriched with the rich flavor of chicken broth. Traditionally made with milk, béchamel gains a deep and multifaceted taste from the addition of aromatic broth. The velvety texture of this sauce perfectly complements baked dishes, pasta, and delicate meat or vegetable sides. Thanks to the harmonious combination of butter, flour, and milk, the sauce maintains its silky consistency while the broth adds a hint of spiciness. This recipe embodies the idea of culinary mastery, allowing any dish to achieve a special sophistication and comforting homemade flavor.
