Chicken Chowder

Sometimes I get sick of reading about everyone's life online when all I'm looking for is a recipe. No, it's fun, just a time suck. So suffice it to say that Ben hates soup, but he will eat this soup. It's that good.

2 diced chicken breasts
2 c chopped potatoes
1 c carrots, chopped
1/2 c celery, chopped
1/2 c onion, chopped
Cover chicken and vegetables with water and boil until tender. While they are cooking make white sauce.

White sauce:
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
2 c milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Stir white sauce into vegetables and add:
1/2 lb velveeta (or cheddar into warm, not hot, soup)
1/2 c parmesan cheese
1 can (or if you are in our world, ONLY frozen) corn

Serve with breadsticks.
