Thickener

a few months ago, I was seeking out a way to thicken soups/gravies. I ran up on one by accident.  I bought this stuff called coconut butter.  I thought I could use it like coconut oil.  When i put it in the skillet it burned like a roux.  So, today when I was making tomato soup, I decided to put a couple of tablespoons in the blender with the soup.  When I put it back on the stove, the soup thickened very nicely. It wasn't as runny as it has been in the past. Yippee, I can have gravy. Probably won't make it that much, but its nice to know there is a paleo gravy/sauce.
