5 Cups chicken stock
1 Cup milk
2 Celery stalks
2 tbsp. cream

1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley

Boil cook the chicken. Strain from the stock and leave both separately aside. Melt butter in a cooking pan and add the flour stirring until yellowish. Add stock gradually whilst stirring continuously until mixture is smooth. Add the milk, chicken and celery. Bring to the boil, season and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, covered.
