This recipe comes from a milk calendar, but has been modified slightly from the original recipe. My husband prefers to have bits of mushroom in his soup, so I puree only 1/2 of the soup and add it back to the pot for him. When my daughters are home, I puree all of the soup and add the cheddar cheese.

Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add chicken broth and milk and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. (I don't add salt due to sodium in chicken broth). Reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
