Chicken & Green Chile Soup

This is a family favorite! I'm planning on making it this week - its perfect for a cold winter night. It sounds like it might be spicy, but its not at all (but I guess you could spice it up if you really wanted to!).

1 1/2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
2 cans chopped green chiles
1 can corn
salt & pepper to taste

Melt butter in a large sauce pan & add flour to make a paste. Cook for about two minutes. Heat milk, heavy cream & broth & add a little at a time (whisk as you go to make it as smooth as possible). When soup starts to boil, add chicken, green chiles, corn, salt & pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!
