I don't claim to be a great cook or to have any original recipes. I love collecting new and interesting recipes and I especially love all my old favorites that I have used over the years. Many recipes are from family and friends and I love them because every time I use them I am reminded of that person and/or some great memories that are attached. I am using this format to begin to put all my recipes in one place. I have attempted this in many different ways but none have been very successful. I am hoping that this will do the trick. Right now for recipes I reference a few different cookbooks, a small 3x5 card box, and a large plastic tub with loose papers. Not a great system. This is my new leaf. Ideally, every day I can put at least one of my recipes into this blog. This will make it so easy and quick for me to refer to and also to share my favorites with friends and family who ask for recipes.

Cheese Soup

I got this recipe from my 10th grade Home Ec class. It is my favorite soup recipe ever! We usually double or triple it so we have a lot. And it is so delicious if you scoop the inside out of a bread bowl and pour it in. Then dip your bread parts in the soup. Yummy!!! -Donna

2 cups water
2 cups diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
1 cup diced ham
bread bowls (if you want)

Boil the water in a saucepan.
Add all the veggies and boil until soft. Set aside.
In larger saucepan, melt butter.
Add salt, pepper, and flour. Stir until bubbly.
Add milk and undrained veggies. Stir well.
Add cheese and ham and heat until melted.
Enjoy!

My good friend made this for a Super Saturday in Colorado Springs. I have been wishing for the recipe ever since. Thanks! Can't wait to make it with the bread bowls! -Nicole
