Steps

Take 1/4 cup of canola oil and place in 3 gallon stock pot.

Heat pot and add diced onions and carrots, sautée till soft add flour
and stir well.

Turn off heat, add chicken base and all the spices, mix well.

In second 4 gallon stock pot add 1 gallon milk and water start to
simmer, DON'T BOIL!

Take the milk & water from this pot and slowly add it to the pot with
the flour, carrots and onions. Wisk this together and then turn the heat
on again to a medium heat.

This mixture should start to thicken up, as it does continue to wisk to
remove all lumps.

Add diced green chile and shredded chicken to this at this point.

Continue to stir the pot with a spoon now instead of a wisk.

Allow the soup to come to a simmer, stir often so the chicken does not
stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.

Turn off heat and pour into (4) 2" hotel pans.

Cover with plastic wrap, leave two opposite sides open so the soup can
cool down.

Label and date, put in walk-in to cool down.
