Dinner tonight ~Mac-and-Cheese Soup~

Catcher Dude saw this recipe and begged me all week to make this. I figured I would go to the trouble and he wouldn't. He is on his third bowl. I am impressed. :-)



From Parent's magazine.


Mac-and-Cheese Soup

15 min 5 min prep
6 servings

1 pkg. (32 oz.) reduced-sodium chicken broth
6 oz. small pasta shells
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot blend
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


In large saucepan, bring broth to a boil over medium heat. Add pasta, return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Add vegetables. Cook until pasta and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
