Mom's Broccoli Cheese Soup

Our family loves this Broccoli Cheese Soup smooth rather than chunky, so I chop most of the veggies in the food processor.

Directions:
4-5 cups cubed potatoes (I do mine quite small)

2 cups chopped carrots

1-2 cups celery, chopped (optional)

1 cup chopped onions

3 chicken bouillon cubes

Cook above ingredients in 4 cups water for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are done.

Add 1 pkg (10 ounces) frozen broccoli, partially thawed (put in food processor)

Heat through.

Add:

1 Tbs mustard

1/2 tsp pepper

Garlic powder to taste (optional)

Stir.

Add:

3 cups milk

1/2 to 1 lb velveeta cheese, cubed

Stir until cheese melts.

Serve in bread bowls or with bread sticks.
