Cheese & Broccoli Soup

4 C. potatoes
1 onion chopped
2 C. sliced carrots
2 C. chopped celery
2 C. cut up broccoli

Boil all veggies, but broccoli, in 4-5 C. water for 10 minutes. Add broccoli & boil for 10 more min. Do NOT drain.

Sauce:
1/4 C. margarine
3 Tbl. flour
2 C. milk
1 lb. velveeta cheese (cubed)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
bouillon: 3 cubes or 3 tsp.

In sauce pan, melt butter. Stir in four. Add milk start out with adding 1 C., cook stirring constantly until thick. Add cheese & other ingredients. Mix until smooth. Add to un-drained veggies & heat together but do not boil. Then depending on how thick you like your soup, add up to 1 C. more milk.

A good combination of water and milk: try boiling veggies in 4 C. water, and adding around 1 1/2 C. - 2 C. milk
