I've worked in the food service industry for too many years to count and have made this one-of-a-kind soup at many different jobs. It's always been a big hit.
Ingredients:
3 quarts water
5 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1-1/2 cups sliced celery
2 large carrots, shredded
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2-1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
6 cups milk
1 pound process cheese (velveeta), cubed
Directions:
1. In a stockpot, bring water and bouillon to a boil. Add celery, carrots, onion and green pepper; cook for 4 minutes or until tender. Add macaroni. Cover and return to a boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 8-10 minutes or just until macaroni is tender.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted; add to undrained macaroni mixture. Yield: 20 servings (5 quarts).
