Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped carrot (1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped onion, chopped fine
1 (10 oz) package frozen broccoli or 1 (10 oz) package cauliflower (or fresh)
4 cups milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded american cheese
1 dash red pepper

Directions:

In large saucepan, boil water; add carrot, cauliflower or broccoli (I prefer fresh veggies, chopped pretty fine), onion.
Simmer, covered, about 4 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender.
Do not drain.
In a small bowl, mix flour, white pepper and dash of red pepper; stir about 1 cup of the milk into flour mixture.
Stir flour mixture into veggies in saucepan.
Add 2 more cups milk and bouillon cube.
Cook and stir over medium heat until thick& bubbly, and bouillon cube has dissolved.
Cook for about 2 more minutes.
Add cheeses, gradually, and stir until melted.
Add additional cup of milk, gradually, until desired consistency.
(I need all 4 cups or it was too thick) Best if serve immediately, but reheats fairly well.
