Broccoli Cheese Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 potato, peeled and grated
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 onion, chopped fine (small)
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen broccoli
1 teaspoon salt
4 chicken bouillon cubes
3 cups water
White Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed

Preparation

Put the first 7 ingredients into a large soup pot, on medium high heat.
Cook until the vegetables are tender - about 10-15 minutes - while you make the white sauce.
White Sauce:
In another pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Gradually add the flour and whisk - until blended. (Don't burn).
Stir in the milk and salt to the flour mixture and keep stirring until it gets thick and smooth. (I've never timed this step - I'm guessing it's about 10 minutes or so.).
Add the Velveeta and stir until blended. Make sure not to boil this mixture.
Now you can add this white sauce to the vegetable mixture.
Heat through and enjoy the comfort!
