How To Make flour soup a la grisons

  • Step 1
    Heat the fat. Add the flour and stir constantly over *low* heat for 15-20 minutes until toasty brown. Be careful not to burn!
  • Step 2
    Add the water and stir until the bubbling stops, and lower the heat. Then add the salt and bouillon and cook for 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 3
    Finish by stirring in the milk or cream. You can then stir the grated cheese into the soup, or, if you prefer, serve it alongside.
