Brown Jug Soup

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped fine
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
1 tsp dried thyme
32 oz carton chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
10 oz pkg frozen mixed vegetables
16 oz pkg frozen broccoli florets
1 can cream of chicken soup
15 oz jar Cheese Whiz
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar

Melt the butter in a large stockpot and saute the onions and celery until soft. Add thyme, broth, potatoes, mixed veggies and broccoli. Stir and add enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in soup, Cheese Whiz and Cheddar until well combined and all the cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Pretty good! Velveeta would probably be better than the Cheez Whiz...
