chicken noodle soup

This is one of my all-time favorite soups. Perfect for a cooler day, for those of you who are still having a chilly Spring, or ANY day in my book! This is one of those recipes that I've tweaked and tweaked until I got it just how I want it to be.

2 chicken bouillon cubes (or 2 tsp. granules)
2 cans chicken broth

2 c. chopped celery
1/4 c. chopped onion

1/4 c. milk
1/2 cube (4 Tbsp.) butter
1/4 c. flour
2 c. chopped cooked chicken (2 pieces)
