Mac & Cheese Soup Recipe


As the days grow colder, I tend to make more soups. Here's another favorite in our home, Mac and Cheese Soup. It's fun and inexpensive to make too!

Ingredients:
1 package (14 ounces) deluxe - type macaroni & cheese(including cheese sauce ouch)
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup water
2 1/2 cups milk
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 cup cubed cooked ham

Directions:
Cook macaroni according to the package; drain and set aside
Meanwhile, chop broccoli and Onion
Combine broccoli, onion and water : bring to a boil: cook 2 minutes. DO NOT DRAIN.
Stir in macaroni, cheese sauce from pouch, milk, cheese soup and ham.
Return to boil, stirring occasionally. Serve..... and top with bacon! YUM!

For us, a family of six, I double the recipe. There are usually NO left overs.

*You can also cook this in the crockpot, but it requires a lot more milk---I never measure it, I just always add more when the cheese starts to gets thick, stir good, and usually add more milk!
