2 shredded carrots
1 cup cooked chicken pieces
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. celery seed
¾ cups chopped onion
4 Tbsp. butter
4 Tbsp. flour
4 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

In a large saucepan, combine first six ingredients. Bring to boil and simmer one hour. Sauté the onion in butter. Add flour to the onion then add milk to make a white sauce. Add cheese and heat until it melts. Add this sauce to first 6 ingredients and heat through.

Hey I like this recipe. The other day we didn't have much in the house to eat but we did have everything we needed to make this soup. (Except for an onion, I ended up using dried minced onion, and didn't put as much in but it was still a bit strong and I wouldn't recommend that substitution). Anyway we loved it besides the strong onion and would make it again. I love the shredded carrots, any picky eaters would never know it was carrots, it looks like cheese!
