Cheese And Vegetable Chowder

This recipe is delicious, very filling, and makes a wonderful meal on a cold winter day.

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

Heat must not be too high , or vegies will burn , so check often.

Remove from heat.

Stir in flour , mix well.

Cook 1 minute , stirring occasionally.

Add chicken broth to vegetable mixture.

Bring to boiling , stirring constantly.

Gradually stir in cheese.

Cook over medium heat , stirring , until cheese has melted.

Gradually add milk.

Season with salt and pepper.

Bring just to boiling , but do not boil.

Sprinkle with parsley , serve with croutons.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

I like to serve with fresh , toasted , buttered bread.

Mmmmmmmm-- homemade bread from the grocery store deli is usually good.
