Thompson Farm Cheesy Vegetable Soup

A creamy soup built from Thompson Farm’s Cheesy Vegetable Soup Mix, with potatoes, rice, carrots, celery, onion, peppers, and garlic.

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 photographed label says the soup becomes creamier and thicker the longer it stands.
• The chicken is optional; the package label lists it as an addition rather than part of the mix.
