Cheesy Chicken Potato Soup

So, I am trying to get back into doing the house-wife duties... Having a little trouble, 5 out of 7 of the meals I made this week were NASTY! But I did make some really yummy soup, its so darn cold here all I can think about is hot chocolate and warm soup. Most the time I want to wear my coat and gloves in the house! I don't think Rikard mentioned this when he asked me to move to this country, its just not right...How cold it is!

Anyway onto the recipe!


Ingredients:
 - 4 medium potatoes diced
- 1 qt. Chicken broth (you can use water, I just like the richness of the broth)
- Butter (as much as you want... I prefer at least a stick)
- 4 Tbs. Flour
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 1/2 Cup shredded cheese (We don't have orange cheese here in this country so I used a pizza mix so what ever you have in the fridge)
- 1 Onion Diced really small
- 2 Sticks Celery
- Paprika
- Salt and Pepper
- Chopped Chives

Directions:

- Boil the potatoes in the chicken broth until tender, don’t drain.
- In frying pan cook onions, celery and butter until soft.
    -Add flour and mix
    -Add milk and stir until it thickens and remove from heat.
    -Stir into the potatoes and broth.
    -Add shredded chicken.
- Season with paprika, salt, pepper, and season salt.


I added ½ cup of sour cream just to make it a little creamier. Rikard says it’s the best he has ever had… and really simple. By now I am sure he is getting sick of all my soups but I am tackling Chicken noodle tomorrow! YUM!

Love,
