• 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onions

• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup flour

Step 1

Peel, seed and diced tomatoes, reserving the juices. In a small pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil; add the tomatoes and juices, onion and green pepper, and let simmer while you prepare the roux.

In a seperate skillet, heat the butter over medium heat; stir in the flour. Cook and stir over medium, stirring constantly, until roux reaches a light beige color. Quickly stir in broth and tomato mixture, adding slowly, but continuously, until fully incorporated. Stir milk and season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until nicely thickened. Serve over hot biscuits.
