Sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a light tan.
Add the onions, bell peppers, celery, and ham, and sauté until the onions are soft and golden, about 10 minutes. (the roux should darken further during this cooking).
Add the garlic, eggs, salt, and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the stock or water little by little, stirring the whole time to avoid lumps.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
