My kids love this cheesy veggie medley soup, but it's not very healthy. I'm not sure how you'd make it w/o the Velveeta.
It's basically chicken broth brought to a boil, then add sauteed onion and 2 bags of frozen california medley. Once veggies are cooked, you add half a brick of velveeta, cubed. Once it's melted, you take a stick blender and smush the veggies up. A potato masher or even just a fork work pretty well too. We serve it with crusty french bread. It would be awesome in bread bowls.
