"A roux is a traditional thickener for dishes like soups and gravies, with the starch in the flour lending a sumptuous texture to whatever liquids they are combined with."
"A roux stirred into a can of soup straight off the shelf lends it a luxuriant homemade quality that really takes it to the next level."
"The color of your roux matters too, as the degree to which it is cooked can have a strong influence on the flavor of the dish."
"If you are going to the effort to add a roux to your canned soup, you might consider a few other simple additions while you're at it."
Canned soup is a convenient meal option, but it often lacks flavor and texture. Adding a roux, made from equal parts melted butter and flour, can transform the soup into a more luxurious dish. The color of the roux affects the flavor, with a blond roux providing thickness and a brown roux adding nutty notes. Additionally, enhancing the soup with herbs and other simple ingredients can further elevate the meal.
