Grandma's Cheesy Potato Soup

This is one our very favorite soup recipes - in fact my husband refers to it as "The Soup". This soup can easily be doubled when you need to share a meal with a neighbor or friend.


4 c cubed frozen potatoes
½ c chopped onion
1 c chopped celery
1 c shredded carrots
2 c uncooked small shell pasta
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 T parsley flakes
¼ c butter
2 t all-purpose seasoning
1 t salt
3 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 c whipping cream

Heat 9 c of water to boiling. Add everything except the pasta, cheese and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, then add the pasta. Turn heat down to medium and cook until pasta is tender (about 8-10 minutes). Stir often. When the pasta is done turn remove from heat. Stir in the cheddar cheese. When the cheese is melted, stir in cream. Salt and pepper to taste.
