Cheese Soup

INGREDIENTS:

4-6 Cups Of Water
5 Large Potatoes (Skinned & Diced)
2 Large Carrots (I used 2/3 of a bag of freshly sliced carrots found in produce)
1 Onion
1 Cup Of Celery
3 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
8 Oz Velveeta Cheese
1 Qt Milk (4 cups=1 Qt  in case you are like me and have a gallon of milk)
3/4 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Butter


Combine all vegetables, water & bouillon cubes into a pot.
Cook untill vegetables are soft.
Approx. 20-25 minutes

While veggies are cooking- melt 3/4 cup butter in a pan.
Once the butter is melted and a little brown, add 3/4 cup flour & 1 Qt milk.
(I found it worked better to use a whisk to keep it mixed and to prevent it from clumping)
Mix/whisk until thick/creamy.
Turn on Low heat and add velveeta cheese.
(Yes there is a spoon in the picture lol.. I didn't realize untill half way through that a whisk was easier. Go me.)

Once the cheese is melted, add it to the vegetable mixture.
(DO NOT drain water from Veggies)

Mix together and serve :)
