1/4 cup diced Velveeta cubes (compressed in a measuring cup)
1 1/2 cups white sauce, recipe follows
Shredded Cheddar cheese, for garnish

Cook at low to medium heat, stirring frequently until soft and clear
but not brown. Add chicken broth from can, chicken bouillon cubes,
salt, pepper and stir until completely heated through. Add white

heat until flour turns thick and comes away from side of saucepan.
Pour milk into flour mixture a little at a time and stir constantly,
taking care not to let mixture lump. Set aside (off the heat) until
ready to use in the soup.
