Jean's Favorite Cheese Soup by Jean Roy

1 1/2 quart water
2 1/2 cubed potatoes
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, diced
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 bag frozen California-style vegetables
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 pound Velveeta

Cook water, potatoes, celery, onion and bouillon cubes for 20 minutes. Add vegetables and cook until tender. Add chicken soup and Velveeta; simmer and stir.

**I used frozen hash brown potatoes (half a bag) and this turned out wonderfully. Joy isn't a big soup eater but he really liked this one. Very thick and hearty. I found this recipe in the holiday cookbook put out by the Sarcoxie/Pierce City/Jasper newspapers. Whoever Jean is, she makes a mean bowl of soup!
