Golden Cream Soup

I've had this recipe for years and it is soooo good. I hadn't made it forever, (Seriously. My boys had never had it. Tragic, really.), and pulled it our for the boys and I last week when Headless Dad went to meet Headless Girl for dinner before church. It is really quick and easy-perfect for those nights when you need a quick, yummy dinner when you are running from sport to sport. And did I mention quick? About 30 minutes, start to finish, including chopping time.

Golden Cream Soup

3 cups chopped potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup water
1 chicken bullion cube

Combine in large sauce pan, bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 min.


Next, combine 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of flour. Cube 1/2 lb (or a little more!) of Velveeta cheese, set aside.

When your 15 min. is up add milk mixture to pot and let simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. It's ok if you're impatient or in a hurry, it will still taste ok.

Now add the cheese, stirring almost constantly until all chunks are melted.

I usually would serve this with a big salad but we didn't have time that night. French bread is a great dipper. It's supposed to serve 6-8-HA! it served the 3 of us with one serving left over. It is really easy to double if you have a larger family or are having a crowd.

Go forth and enjoy-but don't blame me for the extra time you have to spend on the treadmill. You've been warned!
