  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 cups whole milk
  • 5 large potatoes, baked and cubed (peeled, if desired)
  • 2 pounds chicken cooked and shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk to combine until thickened.

Step 2

Whisking continuously, slowly pour in the milk and whisk until mixture is smooth. Be sure to get the corners of the pan.

Step 3

Add all of the remaining ingredients and lower the heat to medium. Stir occasionally until the cheese is melted and the soup is warmed through.

Step 4

Be sure to scrape bottom of the pot as you stir so the soup doesn't burn.

Step 5

Serve when warm and enjoy!
