Vegetable Chowder, a.k.a "Funny Soup"

2 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 small onion
2 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup flour
1-2 cups milk or cream
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Put carrots, celery, and onion in blender with 2 cups water. Blend until only small pieces remain, almost a puree but not quite. Put into sauce pan. Add chicken stock. Cook 10 minutes or until soft. Whisk flour with a small amount of milk or cream to make a thin paste. Add 1 to 2 cups of milk or cream to mixture in sauce pan. Stir and add in flour mixture. Cook until thick and smooth. Add 1 to 2 cups shredded cheese. Stir until melted. Do not boil.

Comments: I use about 2 cups of cream (as in the no-carb heavy cream), and waaay more cheese. Three cups worth, probably. Also, "small onion" means SMALL ONION. It will overpower the other stuff if it's too big. This is probably my favorite soup on the planet.
