Directions
Step 1
Peel the potato and cut it into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Step 2
Place the potato cubes in a microwave-safe mug and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the mug loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a small plate.

Using a fork, mash the cooked potato directly in the mug until mostly smooth.

Stir in the vegetable broth, milk, and butter. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Return the mug to the microwave and heat for another 1-2 minutes, or until the soup is hot.
