Saute carrots and celery in a bit of butter.

In a pot, cook chicken in oil.  Add garlic, onions, mushrooms.  Cook 5 minutes until veggies are tender.  Transfer to a separate bowl.

In the same pan, melt butter.  Add flour.  Cook for 5 minutes.  Stir until mix is a golden brown.  Add the chicken broth.  Cook about 10 minutes stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.  Add veggies and chicken and bring to a boil.

Enjoy!
