                     My mom made this thick soup when I was young,  recalls Michelle Kaiser of Bozeman, Montana.  She passed the recipe on to me with a 'Favorite Recipes Box' she created when I started college. That was 10 years ago, and the dish remains one of my favorites.  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 cups water  |  
                                                2 cups cubed peeled potatoes  |  
                                                1/2 cup sliced carrots  |  
                                                1/2 cup sliced celery  |  
                                                1/4 cup chopped onion  |  
                                                1/4 cup butter  |

                                                1/2 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                2 cups whole milk  |  
                                                1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn  |  
                                                1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded parmesan cheese  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large saucepan, combine the first five ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender (do not drain). 2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter.
