INGREDIENTS:
3 cups chicken broth 2 cups diced, peeled potatoes 1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery 1/2 cup diced onions 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 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.
2 Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the flour 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.
