Instructions:

Cheesy Vegetable Soup

1 (16 or 20 ounce) package frozen broccoli, carrots and cauliflower mix
2 quarts water
8 chicken bouillon cubes (or equivalent of chicken soup base mix)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon basil flakes
3/4 pound bulk American cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk

Bring vegetables, bouillon and herbs to a boil in 2 quarts of water; simmer until veggies are tender. Remove bay leaves. Add cheese and butter; stir and simmer until melted.

Mix together flour and milk. Add to soup, stirring and simmering until soup thickens. If needed, add instant potato flakes to thicken soup.
