- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced, peeled potatoes
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1⁄2 cup diced onions
- 11⁄2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:
I make it to give to folks who aren’t feeling well. It’s simple to
make and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. This is great comfort food.
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pan. Reduce the heat and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, salt, and pepper. Simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the fl our and mix well. Stir in the milk gradually and cook over low heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar and heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Add the Cheddar mixture to the broth and vegetables along with the chicken. Cook and stir over low heat until thoroughly heated, about 3 minutes.
