Immediately add onions and celery and saute until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add flour to vegetables. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Add chicken broth and potato cubes. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Add half-and-half, ground white and black pepper and salt and simmer for 5 minutes more. Stir in grated cheese until thoroughly melted. Taste and adjust seasonings.
