Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup sliced baby carrots
  • 2 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 3 cups milk, divided
  • 1/3 cup cake flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces
