Veggie Cheese Soup

From Jamee Gibert

I just made this soup tonight, it was delicious. The recipe comes from my amazing sister and her family's food blog addictiveallens.blogspot.com; I did make a few changes :)

3-4 c cubed potatoes

2 c diced carrots

1 c chopped celery

1 c onion, finely chopped

2 heads chopped broccoli

1/2 head chopped cauliflower

Simmer first four veggies in 2 1/2 cups water (do NOT add more water) for 7-8 min covered. Add broccoli and cauliflower and continue to cook until veggies are tender. Do NOT drain veggies.

In a separate pan:

1/2 c butter

1/4 c flour

2 c milk

5 cubes/tsp chicken bouillon

1 Tbs yellow mustard

1 tsp pepper

1 lb grated cheddar cheese

Melt butter, add flour. Wisk together and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add milk, bouillon, mustard and pepper. When thickened, add cheese and stir until melted. Do NOT let mixture boil at this point, it will become clumpy.

Add sauce to UNDRAINED veggies. Stir until blended. Enjoy!!!!
