Make the Velouté
STEP ONE
Simmer vegetable stock with kombu in a separate pan over low heat and set aside.
STEP TWO
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in flour and cook, whisking continuously, over medium high heat. Cook until mixture is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
STEP THREE
Add the warmed stock slowly, whisking to break up any lumps and bring to a simmer.
STEP FOUR
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring for 10-15 minutes more until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
STEP FIVE
Remove from the heat, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain sauce through a fine mesh sieve and serve.
