Cheesy Chicken Chowder--Soul Food

Cheesy Chicken Chowder:
3 cups chicken broth
diced and cut potatoes, carrots, onions, and broccoli (totaling abt. 4 cups or so. Very exact, I know.)
diced and cubed chicken (or my version is to throw in one can of the canned chicken from Costco)
*Place all in a large pot, add salt and pepper and cook at med. heat with lid on, until veggies are soft.

*In separate pot on stovetop. Melt 3 Tbsp. (or less) butter. Then add 1/3 cup flour gradually (to make a roux). Then slowly add 2 cups of milk and stir continually. Once this begins to thicken, add about 2 cups of cheddar cheese slowly and stir to it is all melted through and thickened.

Once the roux is complete, add it to the veggie and chicken mixture and continue to heat entire soup through on low heat.

Eat it up Yum! Excellent for dipping french bread into.
