Cindy: Our favorite cheese soup is at a local restaurant called “Hickory Park”. After experimenting with several cheese soups, this one is pretty close.

Assembly Directions:
Heat one quart water for each recipe. Add carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Boil for ten minutes. Add chicken soup, cut Velveeta® into cubes, and one cup water for each recipe. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low. Stir constantly until cheese melts. Cool.
Freezing Directions:
Pour into freezer container. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw. Reheat; stirring often to remix. This is one soup that I prefer to make with water. The chicken broth changes the flavor, but you may want to try it.
Comments:
* 3 to 4 medium carrots is about 1 cup chopped
* 1 large rib of celery is about 1/2 cup chopped
My family absolutely loves this soup. You can add more vegetables if you like, but we prefer cheese soup to have just a taste of veggies. Also, with the small amount of veggies in this soup, you don’t have to worry about the texture of the potatoes changing.
