Tiny soups inspired by "tasting bowls" found at Pier 1 Imports. One person might enjoy 3 or more servings of this size. Each bowl holds at most about half a cup.

| Three tiny tasting soups, vegetarian |
I started with a single one-ounce cube of frozen vegetarian broth for each Tiny Soup. (Next time I may use two.)
First Soup:
Small steamed potato, halved
Brussels Sprout, halved
Sprinkle of chopped green onion
Second Soup:
Spoonful of red beans
1/2 roma tomato, chopped
Sprinkle of chopped green onion
Third Soup:
2 large mushrooms
Sprinkle of chopped green onion
Microwave all 3 for 3 minutes. Garnish 1 and 3 with reserved tomato, and 2 with fresh cilantro. Serve.
