2 celery ribs (with some leaves, cut fine)
¹⁄₄ cup all-purpose flour
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth (reduced sodium works fine)

2 cups low-fat milk
Rivels
1 cup flour (or enough to make a dry mixture)
1 egg
1 dash salt

directions

Melt butter in large saucepan. A nonstick pan works great for an easy clean up.
Add onion and celery: cover and cook over low heat until tender (about 15 minutes); stirring occasionally.
While onions are cooking, make the rivels with the egg and flour and set aside. (Flour and egg mixture should be a little dry and crumbly)Don't over mix.
When the onion is cooked, blend in flour. Add water and broth, potatoes and salt: stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, when you have a nice boil, add the rivels and stir gently. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally. (If it gets too thick, add a little more water or broth)
Finally, add spinach and cheese and simmer uncovered until cheese is melted. Add milk and heat thoroughly.
