• Cold water (for slurry)

1. Mix arrowroot powder with a small amount of cold water to form a smooth slurry.

2. Bring your soup or sauce to a gentle simmer.

3. Slowly stir in the arrowroot slurry.

4. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

Serving Tip

Arrowroot thickens at lower temperatures than cornstarch and freezes well without separating, making it perfect for sauces and soups prepared in advance.
