Cheese Soup

This soup is delightful, especially when it is bitter cold outside!

3 large carrots, diced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
5-6 medium potatoes, diced
Broccoli or peas, if desired

2 cubes margarine
1 cup flour
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 - 1 lb Jar of Cheese Whiz

Boil vegetables until tender. I usually throw the carrots, onion and celery in first, a few minutes later add the taters and then a few minutes before everything is tender add the broccoli. Drain and save the liquid. Melt 2 cubes (I use 1 cube and it works just fine) in large pot. Stir in 1 cup flour, heat while stirring constantly. Add 2 quarts of water (using the liquid drained from the veggies) very slowly while whisking, so you don't get lumps. Add bouillon cubes and stir until thick. Add Cheese Whiz (I usually use a whole jar). Add veggies and heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This soup is wonderful served in bread bowls
