Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Ingredients

• 1 package Thompson Farm Cheesy Vegetable Soup Mix
• 11 cups water or chicken broth
• 3 chicken bouillon cubes, if using water
• 8 oz Velveeta, cubed
• 1 cooked chicken breast, chopped, optional

Instructions

1. Combine the soup mix, water or broth, and bouillon in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the cubed cheese and chicken, if using. Stir often until the cheese melts, taking care not to boil the soup.
4. Let the soup stand briefly to thicken. Season to taste if needed.

Notes

• The soup becomes creamier and thicker as it stands.
• Chicken is optional.
