2. 2

   Add the flour and continue roasting for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Slowly add the cold beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

4. 4

   Cook on low heat for 10 minutes until the soup thickens.

Note. Be careful not to darken the flour too much while roasting, otherwise the soup will have a dark color.
