6 to 8 chicken breasts
8 chicken bouillon cubes
8 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

dissolve bouillon cubes in water. add chopped onion, celery, and chicken breast. boil until tender. remove chicken and chop into bite-size pieces. reserve broth.
in separate pot, melt butter. add flour, and cook mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. slowly add 4 cups of the cooked chicken broth. add slowly and stir continuously to avoid lumping. add milk until mixture resembles a thick soup. (you can thin by adding more liquid, either broth or milk, or thicken by adding a paste of milk and flour.)

serve over homemade biscuits which have been sliced in half.
