ROUX

FOR THE SOUP

Here's three recipes from "Lean Bean Cuisine" by Jay Solomon that I like.

First you make a roux. (I love saying that.) Medium brown.

Sautee onions, green pepper, garlic, celery, and chiles in oil for 7-10 minutes, until soft. Add stock, potatoes, spices and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add lima beans, corn and milk. Return to low simmer for10 minutes. Whisk in roux.
