I've tried other recipes through the years and my family pleads for me to stick to the original one I started with in the '70's. The chopped hard boiled eggs are the secret ingredient that gives this recipe it's extra creaminess. There are no onions which makes kids happier. I have tossed out all other recipes in favor of this tried and true one. This Southern Living recipe is a true treasure!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 3/4 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup celery, chopped
3 hard-boiled eggs, mashed
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon water
1 pie crust
