Cheese Soup

1 envelope butter buds
8 cups water
8 bouillon cubes
24 oz. cubed, peeled, potatoes
1 c. carrots
1 c. onions
1 c. celery
1 head cabbage
3/4 lb. light Velveeta cheese
Boil all ingredients for 45 min, then add Velveeta. Also, get creative and add Mexican tomatoes by Del Monte, or a little Rotel, extra veggies, or whatever you wish! On weight watchers...1 c. = 1 point

ok i don't know what i did but now my name is LJ instead of lorena...anyways for the cucumbers

2 cucumbers
3/4 c. apple cider vinegar
3/4 c. sugar

the night before, slice the cucumbers as thin as you can and put them in a bowl with salt water and let them soak over night. The next day, mix the vinegar and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Drain the salt water from the cucumbers and add the vinegar/sugar solution. If the cucumbers aren't completly covered, add water, but not too much that it kills the vinegar. Also depending on if you like onions you can thinly slice onions and add them too.
