In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook the roux for about 5 minutes over medium heat stirring often. Add peppers, onions and garlic. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add salt taste, seasonings and tomatoes. Stir to combine. Add the stock and whisk thoroughly.
