RAINBOW SOUP 
1/2 pkg. frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix, thawed, 8-10 oz.
1/2 c. chopped ham
1 med. onion, chopped
4 oz. can mushrooms, drained
6 tbsp. butter
5 tbsp. flour
13 oz. can chicken broth
2 1/2 c. milk
Dash pepper
Dash nutmeg
Salt to taste

Combine butter and onion in microwave safe 2 quart casserole. Cook in microwave oven on high for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes; stir in flour. Gradually add broth, milk, pepper, salt, ham, and nutmeg; stir until smooth. Cook at medium (70%) 7-9 minutes until slightly thickened; stir occasionally. While it's cooking, use food processor or blender to chop vegetable mix and mushrooms. Add vegetables and mushrooms to soup, stir, cook at medium another 4-5 minutes, stirring once. Serves 4-5. If you prefer it thicker, stir in 1/2 cup mashed potato flakes.

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