Roux
"A roux is the perfect mixture chefs use to thicken soups, sauces and other food products of similar textures. There are three specific types of roux used in the culinary world: white, blond, and brown. These types are used for different textures and flavors. The roux color reflects the length of cook time, meaning the longer the simmer the darker and thicker the roux. It is important to know that the darker the roux, the less thickening ability it will have."
