How to Make 7 Minute Vegetable Soup

1. Spray a medium saucepan or large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.
2. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for another minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce.
5. Add 1 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, spinach, etc.). Coarsely chop vegetables for a heartier texture.
6. Add 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped).
7. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir occasionally.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste (use sparingly).
9. For a quicker option, microwave all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl for 7-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender. Microwave cooking times may vary.
10. Serve hot with a slice of whole-grain bread or a side of crusty roll for a complete and satisfying meal.
