Meanwhile, combine chopped celery, chopped onions, chopped thawed broccoli, and butter in a micro-proof glass bowl. Cover and cook on high in the microwave for 5 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Add to the potatoes which are cooking in the large pot. Stir in the small can of sliced carrots. (Do not drain!)

- This soup is great as is, or you may add shredded cheese.
- Additional seasonings may be added, according to taste and diet.
- 1 cup of sliced baby carrots may be substituted for the small can of carrots. Add to broccoli, celery, onions, and butter before microwaving.
- More potato flakes may be added as needed for desired consistency.
