Note

Use a microwave-safe bowl large enough to prevent boiling over.

If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water added in the later steps.

For extra flavor, you can add a dash of dried herbs like basil or oregano along with the tomato sauce.

Ensure the beef is fully cooked (no pink remaining) before proceeding to the final heating step.
