I’ll stick to french onion soup without a ton of flour & food colouring.

So normally when making gravy, you add about 1-2 Tbsp of flour per cup of liquid.
This is saying add 3/4 cup (12 Tbsp) flour into a finished volume of 8 cups… so that’s 1.5 Tbsp flour per cup.
So this should be as thick as gravy. Which is not what I would expect for french onion soup. Unless cooking the “gravy” for 2 hours kills the thickening power of the flour?
Also, use Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master, don’t use caramel coloring. Or use nothing.
