Directions:Take peeled and diced potatoes and place them in a LARGE pot. Cover potatoes with chicken broth (add more water, necessary) to cover them. Set them on to boil. In a medium sized pot melt 1 cube of butter and sauté onions, carrots and celery until tender. You can add the garlic salt and pepper to this pan if you know how much seasoning you would like. Otherwise, wait until all ingredients are combined and add the seasoning to the final soup prior to serving. Once the potatoes are soft, add the carrots, celery, onions and butter. Add the shredded, canned chicken with the water OR the shredded, coo ked chicken breasts. Return to the medium pot and melt 1 cube of butter. Once melted, incorporate the flour to make a paste then incorporate one of the cups of milk. Stir until the cup of flour is creamy. Add creamy mix to the vegetable pot, stir, and add remaining milk. Stir. Add 2 Cups of shredded cheddar after setting some aside for garnish. ENJOY! |
