CREAM OF BROCCOLI AND CHEESE
SOUP
 
2 c. chopped celery
1 c. finely chopped onion
1 (10 oz.) pkg. chopped broccoli
1 c. cottage cheese
2 c. whole milk
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 tsp. salt, if desired
1/8 tsp. white pepper

Cook celery, onion and broccoli in a 2 1/2 quart covered casserole in microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Set aside. Blend cottage cheese in blender or food processor, until very smooth; slowly add milk while continuing to blend. Add chicken soup to cheese/milk mixture; blend and add mixture to cooked, undrained vegetables.

Microwave on high until heated through, about 3 minutes, without boiling. Add salt and pepper.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
