Our first recipe is for creamy vegetable ham soup which combines cubed ham, vegetables, and cheese.  Tasty!
CREAMY VEGETABLE HAM SOUP
1 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp butter
13 1/2 oz can fat free chicken broth
3/4 lb Velveeta-type cheese, cubed
16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups cubed ham
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Melt margarine in a 2-qt saucepan and saute onions until tender.  Add chicken broth, milk and cheese.  Stir over low heat until the cheese melts.  Stir in ham, veggies, salt and pepper.  Cover and cook until heated through.  Stir occasionally to keep from sticking.
This second recipe is a different take on two different soups.  Chicken soup and bean soup are both recognized here.  Try this combination today for a different treat.
CHICKEN AND WHITE BEAN SOUP
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive or canola oil
1/2 lb boneless, skinnless chicken thighs, cubed
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 can Italian-Style stewed tomatoes
1 can fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can cannellini or great northern beans, drained
dash of hot pepper sauce
Place oil in a large, deep saucepan and heat over medium-high heat.  Add onion and garlic; cook until tender, stirring frequently.  Sprinkle rosemary and pepper over chicken cubes and add to saucepan.  Cook, stirring, about 2-3 minutes to lightly brown.  Add tomatoes and broth.  Bring mixture to a boil; cover and simmer 10 minutes.  Add beans to mixture and simmer, uncovered, another 15 minutes until chicken is done and sauce has thickened.  Add hot pepper sauce to taste.
Enjoy!
