    Stormy Weather Chowder


    2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 cups broccoli -- chopped
    1 large sweet potato -- peeled and cubed
    1 cup mushrooms -- sliced
    1 medium onion -- chopped
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups nonfat milk
    15 ounces whole kernel corn -- (15 ounces) (1 can) drained
    1 cup green beans
    1 red bell pepper -- chopped
    1 tablespoon basil
    1/2 teaspoon salt -- optional
    1 dash black pepper

    Recipe



    The green beans and red pepper add a pleasant crunchiness to this soup. Use
    whatever fresh vegetables may be in season. Experiment with the vegetables
    you have on hand.

    1. In a large soup pot bring broth, broccoli, and sweet potato to boil.
    Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Do not drain. Set aside
    uncovered.

    2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat olive oil, add mushrooms and onions,
    cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

    3. Whisk flour into milk and add all at once to mushrooms. Turn heat to low
    and stir with a whisk until bubbly.

    4. Pour mushroom mixture into soup pot with broccoli, broth, and sweet
    potato.

    5. Add corn, green beans, red pepper, and basil. Heat through 2-3 minutes.
    Add salt and black pepper to taste.
