Okay, you can reduce the calories in this and make it fairly healthy by substituting fat-free milk (dry milk works well) for the whole milk; low fat cream of celery soup for the regular version (cream of mushroom works well in this, too); and Smart Balance or another no-trans fat, low fat margarine for the butter.

Also, the remainder can be frozen, and will heat up nicely, just like a commercial frozen dinner.
