OK, not really "instant", but it only takes a few minutes and it comes out pretty good. One thing you will find is that it helps to have some basics in your fridge and cupboard. Basics mean at least a small, but stocked, spice rack, flour, sugar, milk, eggs, canned tomatoes, some frozen meat (if you like meat, vegans can modify if they choose) Various frozen and canned veggies, and and either bullion, or canned stock. Also Peanut Butter. It's one of those great useful things that goes well with loads of tastes. Storage containers are also a must, because when you make one person meals, it is rare that you will have to use the entire contents of most packaged foods.
This soup is great in a pinch and it only takes as long as it takes to nuke the veggies to your desired cooked-ness. Some people like 'em a little crunchy, some like 'em mushy, I like firm but just a little past the crunchy phase. Secondly I like things a little spicy, you have the option, you can make it spicier, or tame it out. I don't judge, but I might tease you if I find out!! LOL To the soup!
Ingredients:
1 cup Frozen Mixed veggies ( your choice, but for this one I like the Southwest mix)
1/4 cup beef stock
1cup spicy tomato/vegetable juice
1/2 tsp Tabasco
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
pinch basil
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and cover, nuke for 2 minutes. stir contents and nuke for another 2 minutes. Allow to sit for 2 minutes covered. Remove from nuker and test your veggies, if you want them softer, cook some more, if you are happy...
EAT IT!!
After thoughts:
If you have some cooked macaroni to toss in it's a nice addition.
I like to put some croutons on top with a little Parmesan cheese
It would also go good with a nice cheese sammich.
