      1/2  cup           Margarine
    1      cup           Carrots -- 1/8 cube
      1/2  cup           Celery -- 1/8 cube
    3      cups          Chicken broth
    3      cups          Half-and-half
    2      pounds        Velveeta cheese -- sm. cubes
    1      tablespoon    Fresh parsley -- chop fine

 Melt the margarine in a Dutch oven. Add the carrots, onions and celery all
 at once and sauté until soft but not brown. Add flour and stir to combine.
 Cook until mixture begins to turn a light-brown color. Over medium high
 heat, add the chicken broth a little at a time. Stir and continue to cook
 and stir with a whisk until a thick base if formed. Add half and half
 being careful not to let it boil. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Just
 before serving add parsley. Garnish with diced tomatoes and jalapenos, if
 desired. Source: Houston’s Restaurant
