Easy Microwave Vegetable Soup

 

To make mixed chopped veggies mushy in the microwave (similar to a soup consistency), follow these steps:

Instructions:

1. Chop the Veggies Small – The smaller the pieces, the faster they soften.
2. Add Water or Broth – Use about ½ to 1 cup of liquid per 2 cups of chopped veggies.
3. Cover Loosely – Use a microwave-safe bowl with a lid or a plate to prevent splattering while allowing steam to escape.
4. Microwave on HIGH:
   • 8–10 minutes for soft but still structured veggies.
   • 12–15 minutes for very soft, mushy, soup-like texture.
5. Stir Every 5 Minutes – This ensures even cooking.
6. Mash or Blend (Optional) – Use a fork, potato masher, or blender if you want a smoother consistency.

If you're making a full soup, you can microwave the veggies for 12–15 minutes with broth, then blend everything for a creamy texture.
