A rather rich soup, but very delicious. It contains three types of cheese - Cheddar, Swiss, and processed cheese food. Ingredients:
4 cups water |
2 1/2 cups chicken broth |
4 tablespoons chicken soup base |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 large carrots, finely chopped |
4 potatoes, peeled and diced |
1 large onion, diced |
2 stalks celery, finely chopped |
1 red bell pepper, diced |
1 cup mayonnaise |
8 ounces processed cheese food (eg. velveeta) |
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese |
1/4 cup dry potato flakes |
Directions:
1. In a large stock pot, combine water, chicken broth, chicken soup base, black pepper, carrots, diced potatoes, and onions. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
2. Add celery and red bell pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Gradually add mayonnaise to hot soup, whisking until smooth. Reduce heat to medium low. Gradually stir in processed cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese; continue stirring until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
4. Mix in potato flakes. Remove from heat, and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
