Quick Easy Steamer Bag Vegetable Soup Recipes

HOW TO STEAM VEGETABLES IN A BAG

Steps:

• Chop any large vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower into bite sized pieces and add them all to a microwave-safe plastic bag.
• Seal the bag 3/4 of the way across if using a ziplock bag but be sure to leave a small gap so the steam can escape.
• Put the bag into the microwave and cook on high for about 3 minutes.
• Open the door and allow the steam to escape and the bag to cool down. Check if the vegetables are cooked enough. If not cook for another minute.
• Serve immediately.

• Measure the broth into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the diced tomatoes. Microwave on high for 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil. Roughly chop the carrot matchsticks. Add to the oil. Stir and cover. Chop the green beans into 1 inch pieces and add to the carrots. Stir and cover. Peel and chop the onion. Add it to the pot. Stir and cover. Peel and mince the garlic. Add it to the pot along with the salt and pepper. Drain the beans and add them to the pot. Add the peas and corn to the pot. Cover.
• When the microwave finishes, add the hot broth mixture to the pot. Cover pot and increase heat to high. When it boils, reduce heat to a moderate simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until carrots and green beans are tender, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the basil, parsley or cilantro. Juice the half of a lemon.

QUICK & EASY STEAMER BAG VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Steam the veggies in the microwave as directed on each of the bags you choose to use.
• Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1 cup of hot water. Combine vegetables, bouillon broth, sugar and tomatoes in large sauce pan. Added more water to cover vegetables if necessary. Chicken and/or chickpeas can be added if desired. Let simmer for 15 minutes or until heated thoroughly.
• Notes: we like the sugar in it because it cuts some of the acidity of the tomatoes. It also works well to place all the ingredients in a crock-pot and refrigerate overnight. Then just heat for about 4 hours on low for an easy meal the next day.

STEAMED CABBAGE RECIPE 2 WAYS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the sliced cabbage in a small microwave-safe casserole dish.
• Add 1/4 inch of water.
• Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes. (If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, rotate the dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking.)
• Drain the water from the dish.
• Add the butter and salt. Serve and enjoy.
• Fill a large pot with water and set a steam basket or metal colander on top of the pot. The water in the pot should be just below the basket.
• Bring the water to a boil, then add the sliced cabbage to the basket.
• Cover the basket with a lid and steam until the cabbage is tender and crisp. Most cabbage takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Some varieties like napa, bok choy, and savoy cabbage may only take 3 to 5 minutes. (If using a colander, be sure that you leave a little space so the steam can escape. Tilting the lid works quite well.)
• Remove the cabbage from the basket and add butter and salt.
• Serve and enjoy.
