This was easy to make and very good. You can save yourself a step by not heating the milk in a different pan. I just added the milk a cup or 2 at a time, wisking it as I went.

This was good and very rich. It had a nice thick chowdery consistency too.

Perfect in every respect! Love this soup-I have made this exact recipe many times from TOH. I used leftover baked potatoes for this and it worked fine. Thanks for sharing, Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game.

Awesome soup!! The whole family loved it. I used wheat flour instead of white just to make it more nutritious but other than that, I followed the recipe to a T and it was perfect! Thanks Leta!!

I made this today because I was looking for something tasty to warm us up. I really enjoyed it- found I had to add a bit more butter to the flour mixture. Other than that, no changes necessary. Thanks for sharing!
