Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
¼ cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups bite-sized diced potatoes
2 cups low-sodium broth (any type)
¼ teaspoon pepper
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ cups 1% or nonfat milk, divided
¾ cup (3 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté onions and celery in oil until onions are clear.
