O.K. this is decidedly lowbrow and I probably wouldn't have made it by just looking at the recipe, but a friend had brought it to a work function and it is surprisingly good and a nice quick pot of soup. Actually, better than a lot of restaurant soups I've had. Biggest time expenditure is peeling and chopping a few potatoes and an onion while bringing the liquid to a boil.

1 1/2 cups water

1 can chicken broth (I used 3 1/2 cups water and a few tsp. "Better than Bouillon")

2 cups chopped potatoes

1 cup chopped onion.

1 bag frozen broccoli/cauliflower/carrot mix veggies

1 can creamed corn (I had leftover fresh-I pureed in the blender with a little milk and 2 tsp cornstarch)

1 15oz jar cheese whiz

Bring liquid to a boil. Add potatoes and onions and simmer until potatoes are done. Add frozen veggies and cook about ten minutes = until crisp tender. (I checked after five & it was just starting to come back to a simmer). Stir in corn and cheese, stir until cheese melts and heat just until hot.

 
Use the cheese whiz with jalapenos and you can elevate it's status to "mid-brow" smileys/smile.gif

 
I'd love to try this but I can't get cheeze whiz over here. What can I replace it with?
