While the water boils, slice the celery. Then, add the celery to the boiling water.
Next, quickly peel and slice the carrots and add to the boiling water.
Then, quickly peel, dice and add the potatoes to the boiling water. It’s great to have help peeling and cutting vegetables, if possible.
Cook the vegetables for about 30 minutes or until celery, carrots and potatoes are desired tenderness.
While the vegetables cook, dice the onion and cook onion in the butter in a medium to large sized sauce pan.
When onion is tender, reduce heat and add flour. Whisk and heat through-whisk continually.

Add grated cheese to the onion mixture. Stir to melt.
Now, add the onion and cheese mixture to the vegetables and stir to combine. Add salt and stir.
