Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

4. Add the milk to the pot and stir well to combine.

5. Allow the soup to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

6. Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to incorporate.

7. Gradually sprinkle in the shredded Gruyere cheese, stirring until it melts and the soup is smooth and creamy.

8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Special Tips or Variations:

- For added flavor, you can sauté some diced onions and garlic in the butter before adding the flour.

- Feel free to customize the cheese based on your preferences. Gruyere works well for its nutty flavor, but you can also try Swiss or cheddar.

- To make the soup even heartier, you can add diced potatoes or carrots along with the chicken. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure the vegetables are tender.
