Make a Roux

In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns a light brown color.

Season and Simmer

Stir in the Cajun seasoning, then add the chicken or vegetable broth and drained diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
