Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

I got this recipe from Kirsten South, who use to live in our ward. She made this for a Super Saturday 2 years ago and it was the first soup gone. We are having this for dinner with the yummy french bread recipe Barbara Barrow submitted.

1/4 Cup butter
1/4 Cup flour
2 -3 Cups milk
1 cup cheese
3-5 potatoes peeled and cubed
1 onion
whatever other veggies you want

  • Put 4 cups of water in a large saucepan. Boil the potatoes, onion and other veggies(I used broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) for 15 minutes.
  • In another saucepan, melt butter and add flour. It will be light brown. Don't overcook the mixture.
  • Slowly add milk. Make sure it is the thickness you want(if it is too thick, just add more milk).
  • Then add the cheese.
  • When the veggies are fork tender, drain and add veggies to the milk/cheese mixture. Heat through and serve.
  • I puree mine so my kids would eat the vegetables. Okay so really Nathan and Chelsee are the only kids that will eat it.

Easter Breakfast Rolls


Submitted by Stacey Hutchings
I got this recipe from my wonderful mother-in-law--AnnaLou Robertson.

These fun rolls will help your kids remember the true meaning of Easter. Just as the tomb was empty, because Jesus had risen, these rolls are "empty" inside.

Prepare these rolls the night before Easter for part of a delicious Easter-morning breakfast.

1 pkg. (12) frozen roll dough
6 TB sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
12 large marshmallows
1/4 Cup melted butter

Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Let roll dough thaw, then press each one into a flat circle. Put a marshmallow in the center of each roll. Wrap the dough around it, squeezing the seams so they are closed and try to make it look like a ball. Brush the rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture over rolls. On Sunday morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take rolls out of fridge and bake for 15 minutes.
