Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

shared by Dara P. (I made this during our blizzard and served it with homemade hot rolls: INSTANT HIT! )
Ingredients:
7 cups water
9 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
6 potatoes, cubed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large white onion, chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
3 cups chopped carrots
2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
2 (15 ounce) cans peas
2 cups chopped fresh green beans
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 pound processed cheese, cubed

Ingredients:
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine water, bouillon, potatoes and garlic. Bring to a boil, then stir in onion, celery and carrots. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  2. Stir in corn, peas and green beans and continue to cook on low heat.
  3. Meanwhile,  in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in four all at once to form a roux and let cook 10 seconds. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, and cook, stirring, until mixture is thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese until melted. Pour this mixture into the large soup pot, stir well and heat through.
