To prepare, simply open the can or pouch and pour the contents into a saucepan. Heat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly warmed through. Avoid boiling the soup, as this can alter the texture of the vegetables and pasta. Alternatively, you can heat the soup in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the soup into the bowl, cover loosely, and microwave on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot. Serve immediately.
