The best way I have found to get kids to eat vegetables. I used to blend this up and feed it to my son when he was a baby!

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed (about 1 and half inch)
  • 4 large carrots, chopped
  • 3 - celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 small head of broccoli, chopped
  • 1 small head of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 can chicken broth - 48 oz. can
  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dill
  • 1/2 stick real butter
  • 1/2 package velveeta block cheese - 32 oz box
  • - salt & pepper to taste

How To Make my dad's cheeezy veggie stew

  • Step 1
    In a large stock pot, add all the vegetables & Chicken broth plus one chicken broth can full of water.
  • Step 2
    Boil all the vegetables together until the potatoes and carrots are just at fork tender. Turn heat down to a simmer. ( I like a thicker broth, I use a hand potato masher and smash the veggies a couple of times at this point)
  • Step 3
    Once the temp has fallen to a simmer add slices of the cheese equaling to 1/2 of the package, butter, dill and parsley. Allow the soup to simmer until the cheese has melted and serve. My husband refuses to recognize anything with out meat as dinner, so I will add cooked bacon as a garnish.You can add salt and pepper to taste...Enjoy!
  • Step 4
    ***This can also be made into a vegan dish by substituting the chicken stock with veggie stock and omitting the butter and cheese. Of course leave out the bacon garnish! I will add cubed tofu as well.***
