In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to fully melt but do not let it brown.

Make the Roux
Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. This is known as a roux.

Add the Broth
