Cheesy potato soup

I was looking through the blog posts and realized that Mikael is having way too much fun and decided to get in on the action.  ;)

Since it's been rainy the last couple of days, it puts me in the mood for soup.  My husband loves this one because, unlike other soups, this one is filling. 

Cheesy Potato Soup

5-6 chopped potatoes (you won't mash them, so make them bite size)
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 onion (optional)
3 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
1 stick margarine/butter
2-3 cups grated cheese

Put in enough water to just cover the chopped potatoes (you don't drain it, so don't overdo the water).  Cook until soft.  In a bowl, melt the margarine, whisk with 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk.  Stir into softened potatoes and water, stirring constantly.  Add 2 1/2 cups milk, & then salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste.  Add 2-3 cups grated cheese.  Enjoy!

 I also serve with a green salad and homemade rolls or bread.  I'll post some easy recipes for those later.  :D
