All of my 5 kids ate this and many had seconds.

- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 3 minutes less than package instructions. Add green beans and cook 3 minutes, then drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, celery, and carrots and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Gradually add broth, stirring constantly, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and season with salt and pepper.

Can omit the pasta, increase flour to 5 Tablespoons and bake it in a pie crust or increase broth to 3 cups and make some dumplings to drop in
