Description

A rich, velvety Velveeta cheese soup loaded with finely chopped broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onion sautéed in butter and bound in a smooth sauce of chicken stock and milk thickened with flour and cornstarch. Finished with parsley and paprika. The critical rule: do not let it boil after the cheese is added or it will break.

Note

DO NOT LET SOUP BOIL after adding the cheese. Boiling will cause the cheese to break and make the soup grainy and greasy. Keep it at a gentle simmer.
