How to Make a Roux
No need to be intimidated by the roux in this soup! You’ll whip it up no problem while the rest of your soup cooks to perfection in these 5 easy steps:
- In a medium saucepan (separate from the soup), you’ll heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium/high heat.
- When the olive oil is fragrant, add flour to the saucepan and whisk the olive oil together with the flour until a paste forms.
- Then, slowly whisk the milk into the mixture, stirring consistently until the milk thickens (this usually takes 4-6 minutes).
- Remove from heat and whisk the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the roux.
- You’ll add the roux into the soup at the very end. Voila!
