California Cheese Soup


California Cheese Soup
Tianna's version of Jalin's recipe (original below):

  • 4 cups (1 quart) chicken broth
  • 7 cups veggies, could include:
    • 3 small diced potatoes
    • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen California blend vegetables
    • Diced carrots 
    • Diced celery
    • Diced onion
  • 2 cans (10 ¾ oz) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 lb cheese, cut into cubes
- Bring broth to a boil in a large kettle; add veggies.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until all vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in soup and cheese; cook until soup is heated through and the cheese is melted.

Note:  I use whatever vegetables I have, but prefer to have at least broccoli in it.  This is a very versatile recipe.

Cleanup tip: Do not try to use a sponge or washcloth to clean up the soup pot. Instead, use a scraper to get the cheese off.
