[rec.food.recipes] CHICKEN: Thick Cheese Soup

howard@m.cs.uiuc.edu (Bonnie Howard) (02/18/91)

Cheese Soup ---- serves 4-6 hungry people

1 qt water
4 chicken boullion cubes
3 stalks celery - chopped bite-sized pieces
1 *large* onion - I like the flavor the onions add to soup.

Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 45 minutes....

Then add:

16oz bag mixed veggies
2-3  large potatoes - cubed into bite-sized pieces
2    carrots sliced

Let cook till veggies are tender - then add:

2 cans cream of chicken soup - I prefer Campbell's - most others watery
1/2# velvetta cheese or 1/4# depending on how cheesy you want it.

Cook slowly till cheese is melted and serve.  I usually have homemade
bread or French bread with this meal.

This is a very easy recipe and most people like it.  You do not need to
add salt as there is plenty with the can soups and cheese.  This is
also a good way to use leftover chicken.  You can put in about 1c of
leftover chicken when you put in the veggies.  ENJOY!!!!!
