Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, large slice of onion, garlic cloves, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors.
Step 3
Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.
Step 4
In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown.
Step 5
Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest.
