Cheese Soup

My mother in law has made this cheese soup for as long as I can remember. The recipe is super easy and it makes a big batch, great for our family since we all love it. Some even crave it -

John Barleycorn's Cheese Soup

2 pounds Velveeta cheese
1 pound butter
1 onion, chopped fine
2 carrots, chopped fine
2 celery stalks, chopped fine
2 cups flour
1 gallon water
6 chicken bouillon cubes

Boil water. Add vegetables and chicken bouillon cubes. Cook for 10 minutes. Add diced Velveeta cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Make a roux with 1 pound butter and 2 cups flour. Mix into soup.
