Chef's Notes


Add the broth a little at a time and stir well until smooth between each scoop of liquid.
Warm liquid works best, if it’s too hot or too cold, it tends to clump.
If you are using larger amounts of roux, you will need longer cook times.

*The nutrition label is for the roux mixed with 4 cups of low sodium vegetable broth.
