Chicken Cheese Soup

Here is a quick and easy Chicken Cheese Soup Recipe that Dale says is a "keeper".
That's how he describes any meal I try. It's either a "keeper" or "not my favorite". He does however, eat everything.

Ingredients:
1 cup carrots, shredded
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
3 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 can (10 3/4 oz) chicken broth
1 can (12.5 oz) Chicken Breast (I've used several brands and they are all about the same)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, cook carrots and green onion in hot margarine or butter about 10 minutes or until tender but not browned. Stir in flour. Slowly add milk,chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in chicken and cheese. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese melts. Serve hot.
The last time I made this, I added a little jalepeno pepper for a kick and served it with those crispy tortilla strips. It goes great with a sandwich or some kind of hot bread.
