2 (14.5 oz.) cans chicken broth
4 c. milk
1 tsp. salt

Combine onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, and chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 20 minutes (or until vegetables are tender) with the lid on.

While vegetables are cooking, melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour and stir until bubbly. Add milk, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Add vegetable mixture with liquid. Add chicken pieces.
