Microwave Cabbage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• You will need a deep, heavy microwave safe cooking dish- such as a round Corningware casserole (no lid).
• Put butter in casserole and heat for 40 seconds on HIGH heat (or until melted).
• Add cabbage, onions, scallions, salt, pepper, and sugar.
• Cook on HIGH 4-6 minutes.
• Add the broth and cook on HIGH another 15 minutes.
• Add the warm milk (I remove the soup from the microwave and heat up the milk for 1 minute or so in a glass measure).
• Stir in the carrots and return to the microwave to heat on HIGH 3-4 minutes.
• Test for seasonings- add more salt, pepper, or sugar if needed to suit your tastes.
• You may need to adjust cooking times for your microwave- if cabbage is not tender enough yet, keep microwaving in 3-4 minute intervals on HIGH,stirring, until veggies are cooked to your liking.

Steps:

• 1. Rough cut cabbage, however much you want or need, into a microwave safe bowl.
• 2. Salt and pepper to taste. Lightly sprinkle with onion and/or garlic powders (optional), not enough to overtake the flavor of the cabbage.
• 3. Drop teaspoons of butter or margarine on top of cabbage, you judge for your taste.
• 4. Microwave for 2-3 minute intervals until it reaches your desired level of "doneness". I like mine to be firm but not crunchy.
• 5. This gives the cabbage a light, but very flavorful taste. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place chopped cabbage into an 8-quart soup pot.
• Microwave diced carrot in 2 tablespoons water for 6 minutes on high.
• Microwave diced celery in 2 tablespoons water for 4 minutes on high.
• Add the microwaved vegetables to the pot. Add minced sweet onion, celery, and ketchup. Add juice cocktail, vegetable broth, chicken broth, and tomatoes. Fill each can with water, and add the water to the mixture. Cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 30 minutes.
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 2 to 3 hours.
• Serve with slices of a French baguette. Have salt, black pepper, and Tabasco available to season to taste at the table.
