  3. Poor a carton of chicken broth in big pot. If the liquid level is not even to the top of the meat poor water until the liquid level is even to the top of the meat. Then add 4 chicken bullions to the pot.
  4. Making the Roux… 1 cup of flower and 1 cup of oil in a pan/skillet and whisk it nonstop for 30 minutes. Continue to whisk it can burn. It will turn a very dark color but that's what you want.
  5. In another skillet add a little oil put diced onions, celery, bellpepper, mushrooms in there. Put a tbsp of minced garlic and any other favorite seasoning. (Season salt, onion salt, etc.) Kinda saute it but still a little crunchy looking. Add your Roux to this and mix till mixed in well. Then add to your pot.
