Creamy tortilla soup

1/3 C. butter/margarine
1/3 C. flour
1 small onion chopped
2 large carrots sliced
1 can chicken or a bunch of chicken pieces
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 can chicken broth
About 1 C. milk
salt and pepper to taste
Tortilla chips
Cheese
Cilantro

This is a creation of my own brain that is still in the works. I don't measure, so I'm not sure how much liquid you actually add, but just play it by ear and see what looks right.

Place flour, butter and onion in medium-sized saucepan. Heat until butter is melted and it makes a bubbly mixture. Add chicken broth and milk and heat while stirring with wisk, allowing the mixture to thicken up. Add carrots, chicken and taco seasoning. Heat and cook until carrots are tender. You can add salt, pepper, or more spice as desired.

Serve with chips, cheese, cilantro or whatever else you want on top.
