One Pot, very easy soup - microwave

 

Ingredients

l spring onion - chopped (peel off any manky bits and cut off the root)

1 large carrot peeled and sliced

1 small/medium potato - peeled and small cubed

1 stick of celery - remove some of the strings if poss, and chop 

1 large piece of garlic - peeled and chopped

few fresh tomatoes

salt, pepper, little olive oil, knob of butter, chicken stock (or equivalent)

handful of (novelty) pastas 

Stock

Method:

1. Place all chopped veg in large microwaveable bowl, season to taste and add knob of butter and olive oil,  season well - turn veggies over to mix together.

2. Place on high, stirring occasionally, until veg are almost cooked. (Sauteeing veg.)

3. Add enough hot stock to well cover, and cook for another 5 mins or so.

Add more stock - for the quantity of soup you want - and add the small pastas.  Stir.

4. Cook again on high until the pastas, and veggies are well cooked and soft.

Add more stock if wanted.

I remove any floating tomato skins.

I like my soup quite thick with the ingredients, but enough soup too! 

Add grated cheese if wanted.

SOUP DONE! 

Enjoy!
