This hearty, delicious potato soup takes under a half hour to make and is extremely versatile. It features onions, fresh tomatoes, garlic, zucchini, spinach, and lima beans. For even more convenience, you cook all of the ingredients in the microwave, which is, in our opinion, one of the easiest ways to cook a potato. It really doesn't get much easier, as you don't have to use the stove, turn on the oven, or dirty up a single pot. You'll love throwing it together quickly on a chilly weeknight after a long day. To cut down even more on the prep time, there's no need to thaw the lima beans. Once they hit the hot soup, they’ll thaw.
