  • 1 cup pared sliced carrot
  • 1 cup pared diced potato

  • 3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese ( you have to use sharp cheddar...mild won'tsp taste right)

  • 1/2 cup crouton , optional

Directions:

  1. In hot margarine in 3 qt saucepan, cook vegetables, covered and stirring occasionally, 20-25 minutes, or until tender.

  5. Cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add Chicken broth to vegetable mixture.
  7. Bring to Boiling, stirring CONSTANTLY.

  11. Season with salt and pepper.
  12. Bring just to boiling, but DO NOT BOIL.
  13. Sprinkle with parsley, serve with croutons.
  14. Makes 6 to 8 servings (that's a lie, it's more like 4 servings).
  15. I like to serve with fresh, toasted, buttered bread.
  16. MMMMmmmm- homemade bread from the grocery store deli is usually good.
