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.
