I wasn't sure how I was going to answer your first question, anyway, because I always just make it until the pot has enough and it feeds everyone I need to feed. ;) I love soup for that reason! :) Katie Katie,

I guess I was a little over zealous with the veggies because I had to add a lot more than 2 cups of broth (I didn't really keep track, I keep my broth in frozen cubes), but it turned out totally delicious anyways. Oh and my boyfriend, who doesn't normally like soup, actually liked it :D Hey, I just commented above :) also, just made the soup tonight and it was amazing!

I had separated the leftover meat from the veggies and both containers had a generous amount of drippings. I added the veggies and drippings to the thickened roux and it was fabulous. I didn't need to season much at all. YUMMY! Thanks for the roux lesson. I made this soup with leftover roast veggies (potato, onion, carrot & celery).

I never tried coconut flour, but those two work well. I think you can use slightly less arrowroot starch (up to half?) compared to flour. If your roux doesn't thicken up well, just mix more starch with COLD water thoroughly, and then add it into the hot milk mixture, stirring until you see bubbles, and it should thicken even more. Good luck! :) Katie Tara,
