Soups......2 of my favorites

Here are 2 of my favorite soups....       (these are both in the Atkinson Cookbook)

Cheese Soup

Melt 2 cubes of butter in a large soup pot.  

Stir in: 1 c. flour

Add: 3 qts. boiling water 

4 chicken bouillon cubes.

Add vegetables and simmer until tender:

3 carrots, grated or diced

4 potatoes, diced

3 stalks celery, diced

1 medium onion, diced

pkg. frozen peas or broccoli

Stir in: 16 oz. of cheese sauce or Cheez Whiz.  

Heat through and serve. 

I found this one in a cooking magazine years ago and I make it often.  Fast & easy & comforting when someone doesn't feel good.  

Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup

Place 2 qts. water and 8 chicken bouillon cubes (or 2 qts. chicken broth from cooking the chicken)  In a large saucepan.  Bring to boil and add 6 c. uncooked wide egg noodles.  Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.  

Add:  2 cans cream of chicken soup

3 c. cooked cubed chicken

Continue to cook to heat through.  Just before serving add 1 c. sour cream and 2 T. dried parsley flakes.  Remove from heat and serve.
