POTATO CHEESE SOUP WITH VELVEETA®

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, combine the potatoes and carrot with water to cover and boil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
• In a separate large skillet over medium heat, saute the celery and onion in the margarine for about 10 minutes.
• Drain all but about 2 cups of the water from the potatoes and carrots; add 4 cups milk. Reduce heat to low and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer the onion and celery mixture to the pot and stir in the chicken soup base. Heat slowly, then add the cheese. Allow the cheese to melt, stirring all together well.

VELVETY VEGETABLE CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Place vegetables and broth in large saucepan; cover. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minute or until vegetables are tender.
• The recipe said to mash the vegetables with a potato masher to desired consistency. However, I put all the vegetables and a little broth in a blender and blended it until the vegetables were pureed. (This was incredible this way!).
• Stir in Velveeta; cook 5 minute or until Velveeta is melted and soup is heated through, stirring frequently.
