How To Make mac n cheese soup

    Add macaroni, & bring back to a boil. Cover & boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand for 8-10 minutes til macaroni is tender.

Gradually add milk, stirring constantly using a whisk. It will begin to thicken. Cook & stir 2 minutes. Turn on low or off & add cheese; stir til melted. Add to undrained macaroni mixture.
