To make soups or gravies? How do you make yours? do you use butter? oil? drippings? do you prefer flour? cornstarch?
do you use water? broth.
What is your technique?
I make a lot of soups and so use rues all of the time. I do it different ways with different foods. Do you use only one way? Looking as always for new ideas.

I usually only use Albertson's (in the can). On special occasions, I may use Campbell's or Progresso (in the can). I usually don't add anything to my soups, but water or milk. That's how I make my soups. I rarely, if ever, make gravies.
Hey, at my party Saturday night, we had a soup party. I have the recipe for Southwestern pumpkin soup. You interested? I didn't get recipes for the others, but I could, and they were great! There was a pumpkin/curry, carrot/cashew, chicken/green chile, etc. Let me know.

Back when I used to cook for a restaurant I used to use them all of the time to make soups. My wife does most of the cooking these days but I know she does occasionally use rues to make her cream soups, although she makes more broth based soups then cream soups. She uses flour when she does that. She will use cornstarch for gravies and other sauces.
