the lighter the roux the more thickening power it has


Good to know

did you use stock? if so homemade or canned


I used broth actually. Some homemade and some canned. Didn't have enough homemade.

file is a thickening agent, so that added to how thick it was, cut back next time,


I think I will add more stock with good seasoning rather than cutting back on the file'. I love that stuff!

i take the chicken bones and skin after deboning the chicken and make my own stock, then add until it gets to the consitency that i need.

I also add a small amount of tomato, which is apparently heresy, but i like it.
