1. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large non-stick pot. Then whisk in the flour and cook until the flour is thoroughly coated with the butter and starts to brown, about 2 minutes.
2. Pour the vegetable broth in and whisk it together with the flour, until it's thickened and smooth.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and whisk in the next 10 ingredients, pickles, pickle juice, Splenda or stevia, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion salt, dill weed, curry powder, white pepper and bay leaves. Keep stirring until the soup starts to boil.
4. Then reduce heat to low and continue simmering for 5 more minutes, while whisking frequently.
5. Whisk the milk in until thoroughly combined. Remove the bay leaves and divide up into 8 servings.
Yield: 8 Servings of 1 1/2 cups each
