Cheesy Vegie Soup

2 cups water

2 cups peeled, diced potatoes

3/4 cup diced carrot

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup shredded zucchini

salt and pepper

1/2 cup milk

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese



Put veggies and water in medium saucepan, bring to a boil and then turn down and simmer 10-12 minutes. (I covered the pan) Turn off heat and cool slightly. Using a hand blender, blend soup until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, turn heat on med-low. Add milk and cheese and bring up to serving temp (do not boil).



That's it. Easy, and with shredded zucchini in the freezer- a simple soup to make all winter. You could add red or green bell pepper at the beginning, or add frozen corn when adding the milk and cheese; spice it up with a little Tabasco or green chilies.... lots of possibilities. It is not a "smooth" soup like a Wisconsin cheese might be, but really good!
