| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Put the potato, beans, ¼ cup water, and the pepper in a large covered casserole and cook in the microwave oven for 3 minutes.
|
2. Add the onion and carrots and cook until almost tender (about 10 minutes). Add the peas and cook until tender.
|
3. Blend the butter, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in the water. Add to the vegetables, stirring. Stir in the cream.
|
4. Cook, covered, until the liquid has thickened and reached the simmer stage, stirring from time-to-time to keep the flour in suspension. Do not let boil.

A little snipped parsley could be served over the soup as a garnish.
