Best Answer

A basic white sauce like bechamel or veloute can be used to make more complex sauces like alfredo or a cheese sauce, or even have herbs or spices added to change it's overall taste and appearance. They can also be used to make creamy soups.

Bechamel is made with butter, onion and cream. Veloute adds chicken stock.
