Description

Extreme comfort food! Cheese and vegetables in a velvety sauce. My steak and potatoes husband frequently requests this soup with fresh sourdough bread on weekends.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 (8 ounce) package process cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cut into small cubes
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large, heavy pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk flour into the butter mixture until incorporated. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is thick, about 3 minutes.
2. Stir milk, chicken broth, and chicken bouillon cubes into the butter mixture. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring regularly, until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mixed vegetables and cook until the vegetables are heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low; add process cheese food, hot pepper sauce, and white pepper. Cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted, about 10 minutes.
