Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 6 ounces All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth

- 1 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
- Combine the butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Once the butter has just melted, add the garlic and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pan, and whisk to form a paste.
- Cook the flour mixture (called a roux) for another 2 - 3 minutes, until it turns a golden brown color.
- Gradually add the broth to the pan, whisking continuously to incorporate the liquid and break up any lumps.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, and continue whisking until the mixture comes to a boil (4 - 5 minutes).
