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

Cook celery, onion and broccoli in 2 1/2-quart covered casserole in microwave on "high" for 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. Set aside. Blend cottage cheese in blender until smooth. Slowly add milk; continue to blend. Add chicken soup to cheese-milk mixture; blend. Add mixture to cooked, undrained, vegetables. Microwave in "high" until heated through (about 3 minutes) without boiling. Add salt and pepper. Yields 6 servings.

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