  5. Simmer, stirring occasionally, about 15 mins. OR until vermicelli is tender but still firm.
  6. MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: In 6 qt. casserole, melt margarine. Stir in
  7. Onion & zucchini; microwave on HIGH for 3-4 mins. OR until vegetables

  10. Still firm.
  11. MARILYN'S NOTES:
  12. I added the corn, green beans, peas & carrots to the original recipe.
  13. Couldn't find the Baby Lima Beans in Butter Sauce, so used 10 oz. of
  14. Butter Beans. Next time I'd only use 5 oz. Couldn't find cans of Beef
  15. Broth, so used the boxed kind and used 3/4 of the carton. Couldn't
  16. Find Vermicelli, so used Capalini and I think that was perfect. Forgot
  17. To put in Cayenne Pepper, would add next time for a bit more zing!
  18. Instead of 1 1/2 cups Water, I put in 8 ozs. of water. I doubled all
  19. Spices. I forgot to saute the zucchini. I put everything in my
  20. Largest casserole (not nearly big enough...need at least 6 qt.
  21. Casserole) and thought I followed the microwave directions...the soup was not nearly done after 4 mins. (that's how long I thought it was supposed to take! Silly me! I didn't read all of the directions, apparently.). Anyhow, by this time it was 8 pm (hubby had gone on errands
  22. And went grocery shopping for me...which is probably why he couldn't
  23. Find things...can't imagine Wegman's not having all of those
  24. Ingredients! So, put everything in my soup pot (8 qt.) and next
  25. Day brought the soup to a boil, then simmered for 2-3 hrs. (forgot to
  26. Time it!) But you want the veggies to be fork tender and the pasta
  27. Cooked! The butter beans didn't cook thoroughly enough for us.
  28. But, the soups tasted great and would make again! I would not make
  29. Microwave cause I don't have a big enough micro-wave safe casserole or
  30. Pot. This was very easy to prepare...I think it took under 5 mins. to
  31. Prepare it. ~spartica
