In large saucepan, cover potatoes with cold water; over high heat, bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer about 45 min or until tender, drain mash and set aside. In a sauce pan over medium heat, melt margarine; saute onion, celery and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, seasonings listed above. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly until blended and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk and broth. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2-4 minutes, until slightly thickended; do not boil. Then add cheese and bacon to sauted items to mashed potatos. You may have to add more chicken or milk if too thick.
