Thicken Soups and Sauces
To thicken soups or sauces, try one of the following methods:
- Reduce the soup or sauce by cooking it longer. This will result in a thicker mixture with stronger flavor.
- Add arrowroot, a tasteless powder available on the spice aisle. Arrowroot will thicken your dish, but does not perform well at high temperatures.
- Add a mixture of cornstarch and water. While this thickens well, it can produce a chalky taste.
- Add roux. Cook equal parts of butter and flour until the mixture reaches a golden brown color. Add the mixture to your soup or sauce for added richness and thickness.
