Soup

Hi, It is to get very cold again this week-end, so I thought that I would talk a little about a really good soup. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe and I tweeked it myself. It is a good one for the cold days of winter and very easy to make. It is not very good for people who are watching their weight as it is very rich.
I have a web site that I will be putting recipes on from time to time, so you can find more good things to make with little effort at DownHomeCooking.com. Please stop by our site and see what we have to offer. Feel free to make comments and to offer any advice that we can use to make our site better for you. We are in the new stages yet but hope to have something for everyone.

My Soup is Hearty Beer Cheese Soup
1-42oz can of low sodium chicken broth (I use any type)
1 can, any Beer
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 1/2 lb. velveeta cheese, cubed
1-42 oz. can of water(use the broth can)
1 1/2 cup chopped celery
3 to 31/2 cups diced potatoes
1 large can of cream of chicken soup.
Combine chicken broth , water, beer, celery and onions. Cook covered for about 20 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Cook until tender. Add chicken soup and cheese. Heat until cheese is melted and soup is hot. Makes 4 to 5 quarts. Chopped cooked ham may also be added, or browned hamburger. This also freezes well.
