Notes
*****If you think this soup is too thick, thin it with more milk. You can change up recipe by using other veggies. If you find you have leftover veggies in refrigerator, just throw them in. You know anything made with velveeta is divine. My sister-in-law, Becky M. Cato, started this recipe. We would just make big batches, get some good hot toasty bread with a nice glass of wine, sit by the fire and just chat. Some of my most favorite memories. This soup can also pass for a great cheesy potato soup. This soup is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
