Broccoli Cheese Soup

5 C water
4 T chicken bullion
4 C diced potatoes
2 C diced carrots
2 C chopped celery
1/2 C minced onion
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen broccoli or 2 c fresh broccoli
3/4 C butter
3/4 C flour
1 qt half and half
1 (8 oz) jar Cheese Whiz

1. Prepare vegetables and place in large pot. Add water. Cook until tender.
2. Add broccoli. In a separate pan, melt butter an then stir in the flour.
3. Once mixed, at to pot with veggies and add half and half, bullion, and cheez whiz.

Heat through. It makes a lot! **You can also make this recipe more on the low fat side. Instead of half and half use regular milk (same amt). When vegetables are cooked including broccoli drain out most of the water and then add the milk, butter, flour mixture, bullion, and cheez whiz.
