Answer 2

2 large potatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated carrots
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups half & half
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ( if you want you can do a milder version by using cubed Velveeta)

In a large saucepan combine the vegetables, chicken broth, salt and vinegar over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, then simmer 20 minutes.
Whisk together the flour and half & half
Add the flour and milk mixture to the vegetable and broth mixture and continue simmering 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the cheddar cheese, it is ready to serve when the cheese is melted and the potatoes are tender.

I like to put it in the blender and puree it once in a while. (remove celery 1st)
