2 quarts water
2 cups diced potatoes
½ cup chopped onion

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 pound processed cheese food (eg. Velveeta)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the water, potatoes, onions and celery. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and simmer 10 more minutes. Add the cans of soup and the cheese and cook slowly, until the cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables First: Before starting the soup, wash, peel, and chop all the vegetables. This will save time and ensure that all the ingredients are ready to go.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables. The more variety you have, the more flavorful your soup will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, green beans, and corn.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Be careful not to overseason it, as you can always add more later but you can't take it out.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or croutons. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This hearty cheese and vegetable soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its creamy texture, flavorful broth, and tender vegetables, this soup is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this soup a try.
