I created this recipe when I was trying to think of something new and interesting to serve my family. They never cared much for vegetables until they tried this delicious soup. Ingredients:
1 cup diced carrots |
1 cup diced rutabaga |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup fresh broccoli florets |
1/2 cup fresh cauliflowerets |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3 tablespoons water |
3 tablespoons butter, optional |
1 cup process cheese (velveeta), cubed |
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn |
1/2 cup frozen peas |
1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham |
5 cups milk |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. In a microwave-safe 3-qt. baking dish, combine carrots, rutabaga, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, water and butter if desired. Cover and microwave on high for 9 minutes or until vegetables are just tender, stirring three times during cooking.
2. Stir in cheese, corn, peas and ham; cover and let stand for 1 minute. Add milk, salt, pepper and sugar; cover and microwave on medium-high, stirring three times, for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and soup is heated through (do not boil). Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).
