Here's an amazing thing good for all kinds of food. A roux!
A roux is a kind of thickening agent (like corn starch) and it's great for soups, sauces and gravy. You can have a light roux or a reeeeaaaally dark roux. The best part is that it's super simple and cheap. it's equal parts butter and flour.
Melt the butter down and then stir in the flour. Keep stirring, don't let that sucker burn. I like to get mine about the color of peanut butter. That's roux!
To make a boss cheese sauce for mac and cheese (or whatever), add milk, allow it to thicken and then add a crazy amount of shredded cheese.
You can use a roux in your soup to thicken the broth!
You can add it to meat-juices for gravy!
Roux is wonderful!
