CHICKEN CHOWDER

I recently had a friend asking for soup recipes. I couldn't believe we didn't have this recipe on our blog, because it's one of our family's favorites. When my Grandpa Cliff died, someone (ok, family, help me out here. . .) brought this delicious soup to my grandma. So it definitely qualifies as comfort food. :) It's delicious with fresh, homemade rolls. Try these; they are our favorite. eta: It was grandma's dear friend, Maxine Somer, who passed away about a year ago. 4 chicken breasts 3 quarts broth 1 c chopped onion 2 c sliced celery 2 c diced carrots 2 cubes butter 1 c flour 1 lb Velveeta cheese Salt, pepper, and msg to taste 2 c frozen peas Boil chicken breasts until tender. Remove chicken, cool, and cube Add onion, celery, and carrots to broth. Cook until tender. Make a paste of flour and melted butter. Add to broth and cooked vegetables. Add cubed Velveeta cheese. Mix together until smooth and cheese is melted.Add salt, pepper, and msg to taste. Add chicken and frozen peas right before serving (do not cook peas).
