One of our very favorite soups! This gets lots of compliments and recipe requests. It goes together fast and makes a filling, delicious meal!

8 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 small carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 med-large onion, finely diced
2 cloves (or more to taste) crushed garlic
3 cups chicken broth (I love my lower sodium chicken base)
2 t salt

5 cups milk

6 T butter, melted
6 T flour
2 T parsley
2 t pepper

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

In a large saucepan, bring potatoes, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth and salt to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes are just tender. Do not drain; mash slightly. Stir in milk....
