Hurricanes always make me think of soup or chili, so here is a good soup recipe.  This one will cause artery blockage just to read it.  Velveeta is one of the four food groups, right?  :-) 

Potato Cheese Soup

10-12 large red potatoes, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

4 oz. sour cream

1 lb. Velveeta cheese, grated

1 stick butter

4 c. water

6 T. flour

6 chicken bouillon cubes

2 c. Half & Half

Cook potatoes and onions until tender, then drain.  Place in a large pot and add water, sour cream, cheese and bouillon cubes.  Cook over low heat until cheese is melted and cubes are dissolved.  Stir often, as this mixture sticks easily.

In a different pan, melt butter.  Add flour and cook on med. heat until flour is all mixed in and cooked.  Add Half & Half and stir well.  Pour this into the cheese mixture and add potatoes/onions.  Simmer 15-20 minutes.
