Fourteen years later, I do believe I'm up for blogging again. Life got busy, and I just wasn't feeling it. Now I'll pick up where I left off and try to catch you up on the last month of our crazy lives! In my last post, I promised an idea of what to do with the leftover Velveeta from the Salsa Mac. Here's my favorite (and might I add, it's one fabulous lunch idea on a blustery day!): broccoli cheese soup.
The first order of business for making this quick and easy soup is gathering ingredients:
*one small bunch of broccoli
*can cream of chicken soup
*can milk
*1/4 lb. Velveeta
Cut the broccoli into tiny flourets (of course you need to wash it), put them into a microwave friendly dish, add a smidge of water, and steam it until bright green and tender.
Cube the Velveeta while the broccoli steams. When you pull out the broccoli, add the soup, fill the can with milk, mix the milk in with the broccoli/soup mixture, add the Velveeta.
Heat in the microwave until the Velveeta has melted completely. Salt to taste and ta da! The soup is ready! It does not get much easier than this!
This soup is great on it's own. However, it was just cryin' out for a bread bowl when we ate it. Some soups and days are just made for bread bowls. This was one of them.
Lingering thought of the day: While we were in Missouri over Halloween week, Mugsy got fixed and a nose job...to widen her little nostrils and let her breathe more easily. We were told "fat dog" needed to lose about seven pounds. Between the post-op recovery and the new diet, she is NOT a happy camper. She gets two more days of sympathy...then she has to adjust nicely.
