My husband and I live in the Dairy State of Wisconsin. So this soup is perfect, since we get to use our state's fantastic cheese and milk.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups whole milk
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 to 1 cup chicken broth
Minced chives, optional

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Combine the flour, mustard, paprika and salt; add to saucepan. Stir to make a smooth paste.
2. Gradually add milk and soup; cook and stir until thick, about 10 minutes. Add the cheese and chicken broth; stir until cheese is melted. Garnish with chives if desired.
