Cheesy Potato Packed Chowder

Directions

1. Today's recipe is in honor of cheese-heads wearing green and gold everywhere which support the Green Bay Packers as our Souper Bowl recipes continue at Recipe-a-Day.com. We're not entirely sure how or possibly when cheese became associated with this Titletown Football Team in the Dairy State of Packer fan or possibly not!
2. Cook potatoes in boiling water till tender, approximately 16-18 min after water begins to boil. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and reserve cooking water. Add in bouillon cubes to warm liquid and stir till cubes are dissolved.
3. In a separate large saucepan heat butter over medium heat. Add in onion and green pepper and cook, stirring gently for about 3-min till softened, but not browned. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and let bubble. Remove from heat and add in lowfat milk and potato water all at one time. Stir in salt and pepper. Return to moderate heat and cook till boiling and smooth, making sure to stir constantly to mix flour thoroughly and not permit the lowfat milk to scorch. Turn heat to low and simmer for 2-5 min.
4. Add in cheese and gently stir till the cheddar is thoroughly melted. Stir in reserved potatoes and heat through, approximately 10-min. Serve very warm and garnish with freshly minced parsley if you like.
