INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons chicken soup base
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large carrots, finely chopped
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 ounces processed cheese food (eg. Velveeta)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large stock pot, combine water, chicken broth, chicken soup base, black pepper, carrots, diced potatoes, and onions. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add celery and red bell pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Gradually add mayonnaise to hot soup, whisking until smooth. Reduce heat to medium low. Gradually stir in processed cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese; continue stirring until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
