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.
