I made this thick, hearty soup for a fellowship meal and everyone loved it! (You can make it the day before and reheat for an event if you need to.) This recipe is based off of an old church cookbook recipe that my mom used to make. The original called for a copious amount of Velveeta cheese, but I used all real ingredients in this healthy version. Cheesy, hearty comfort food at its best! Feel free to halve the recipe if you don't need 8 quarts. Gluten/egg free if using non-contaminated…
