A hearty, comforting soup with tender vegetables, creamy chicken flavor, and melty cheese, perfect for cozy gatherings or a warming family meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil the bouillon cubes in water until dissolved. Add raw vegetables to chicken broth and boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Stir in frozen vegetables.
- Stir in the cream of chicken soup, then add the cubed Velveeta cheese.
- Heat until the cheese melts, stirring frequently.
- Keep over low heat to prevent scorching.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes. You can substitute fresh vegetables for frozen ones based on your preference, but ensure they are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking. If you want a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before adding the cheese. This Soup Supreme pairs beautifully with Bell Pepper Soup for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty Soup Supreme with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. It also pairs well with grilled cheese sandwiches for a comforting lunch. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and a pop of color. For a twist, serve alongside dishes like Amish Yuma-Setta to explore diverse American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the soup in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also microwave it in individual portions, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Avoid reheating more than once to preserve flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Velveeta?
Yes, you can substitute Velveeta with shredded cheddar or a combination of cheeses for a different flavor profile. Keep in mind that different cheeses will melt differently, so you may need to adjust the cooking time to ensure a smooth consistency.
Is it possible to make this soup vegetarian?
Absolutely! To make a vegetarian version, simply omit the bouillon cubes and replace them with vegetable broth. Also, use a plant-based cream of chicken soup alternative, and ensure your cheese is vegetarian-friendly. This will maintain the richness of the soup without meat.
Can I freeze the Soup Supreme?
Yes, this soup freezes well! Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stove, stirring frequently to restore its creamy texture.
