To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

For reheating from the fridge, place the soup in an Anyday dish, cover it with the lid, and microwave on full power for 1-3 minutes on full power, stirring halfway for even heating. If frozen, add the frozen portions into an Anyday dish then reheat at full power for 4-8 minutes, depending on the portion size,  stirring halfway through.
