  3. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion or regular blender and return it to the pot.
  4. In a separate pot, melt butter over medium-low heat and whisk in flour constantly for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gradually stir ladlefuls of soup into the roux until smooth then combine the mixture back into the soup pot.
