Set your oven to 350ยบ and let it heat up. Chop the mushrooms into small bits, and mince the garlic finely.

Add butter and let it melt, then stir in the flour to create a thick paste at the bottom of the pan. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes until it turns a light brown.

Pour in the milk, veggie broth, and garlic powder. Stir everything well, making sure to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom. Bring it to a simmer and let it thicken up.

Drop in the cream cheese and mix it in until it's melted and totally smooth.
