Shared by: Momoftwoiam

4 Points Per Serving

4 cups water

12 oz frozen hash brown potatoes (or dice regular ones if you have the time)

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrots

4 cups chopped broccoli (I throw the whole bag in)

1/2 tsp pepper (optional)

3 Tbl flour

2 cups skim milk

6 oz Velveeta light pasteurized cheese spread, cubed

In a large pot, combine water, potatoes, vegetables, broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until the vegetables are tender (15-20 min). In a separate bowl, blend flour and milk. Slowly add flour/milk mix to the large pot. Stir constantly until soup thickens. Add cheese cubes and stir until melted and smooth.

Makes 4 HUGE servings. Each serving is approx 3 or 3 1/2 cups.
