Cheeseburger Paradise Soup

6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small carrot, grated
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3 cups water
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons beef boullion granules
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms (cremini are my favorite)

5 cups milk, divided
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pkg (16 oz) Velveeta cheese, cubed

In a soup kettle, combine first 8 ingredients, bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 mins. In a large skillet, cook turkey and mushrooms, drain. Add to soup. Stir in 4 cups milk, heat through. In a small bowl, combine flour and 1 cup milk. Whisk until smooth. Gradually stir into soup. Bring to boil, cook & stir until thickened. Take off heat. Stir in cheese until melted. (So not diet friendly but very good!)
