Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup of milk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour this slurry into the soup and stir well. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 3 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water to boil the potatoes and carrots.
If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup before adding the cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

    I used cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta and it was still delicious.

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some bacon bits for extra flavor.

    Be careful not to boil the soup after adding the cheese, or it will separate.
