Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped carrots
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup margarine, softened
• 10 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 gallon milk

Directions

Place the carrots, celery, onions and chicken broth in a large pot. Cook over medium high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the butter until smooth and set aside.

In a separate pot heat the milk, but do not boil. Slowly add the cornstarch/butter mixture to the milk and stir together until smooth.
