For Cheesy Chowder - I leave out the beans and hot pepper sauce
Haven't tried broccoli or minestrone recipes.
Cheesy Vegetable Chowder
1 1/2 cups peeled, cubed potatoes
1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup thinly sliced carrot
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup water
1 3/4 cup milk
1 can (11 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
Put potatoes, broccoli, carrot, onion, garlic, pepper and water in 3 qt microwave safe bowl. Cover with lid. Microwave on high 8-10 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add milk and soup. Cover and microwave on high 6-8 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are tender. Stir in cheese and mix until cheese melts.
Cream of Broccoli
(Never had)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups water
2 cups broccoli, chopped fine
3 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste
1 cup milk
Put onion and butter in 2 qt microwave safe bowl. Cover. Microwave on high 5-6 minutes, stirring once, until onion just begins to brown. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir in water until well blended, then the broccoli, bouillon granules and pepper. Cover and microwave on high 10-12 minutes until broccoli is tender and soup is thickened. Carefully stir in milk.
Minestrone
(Haven't had)
3 slices bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 cups water
1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce from jar
1 can (10.5 oz) kidney beans or pinto, drained
1 ounce vermicelli, broken in 1 inch pieces or 1/4 cup small shell macaroni
2 tsp instant beef bouillon granules
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup 1/2 inch pieces zucchini
Put bacon in 3 qt microwave safe bowl. Cover with paper towel. Microwave on high 2 - 2.5 minutes, stirring once, until bacon is almost crisp. Blot bacon with paper towel to absorb bacon greese. Stir in onion and garlic. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Microwave on high 1.5-2 minutes until onions translucent, then stir in carrot, celery and 1 tbsp water. Cover and microwave on high 2-3 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are crisp tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except zucchini. Cover with lid and microwave on high 10 minutes, stirring once. Add zucchini; cover and microwave 5-8 minutes longer until macaroni and vegetables are tender.
