Yes but you need to be careful in case what is in the bowl gets hot enough to melt the bowl.
Generally speaking plastic is fine but it should be correct microwave cookware. There is some discussion about chemicals from plastic containers (such as margerine or ice cream containers) being absorbed by the food inside. To be sure use proper microwave cookware

∙ 10y agoWhether or not you can safely pour hot soup into a plastic cup depends on the thickness or heaviness of the plastic. If it is very thin plastic, the heat from the soup may melt the cup. If it is thicker plastic, you might be okay.

Is Microwave in all plastic containers safe?
It depends on the container. Most of them will have a label, either on packaging or on the container itself, saying whether or not it is suitable for use in a microwave. If you can't find this label, it's usually best not to risk it as it can damage your microwave if it melts or bursts. --------------------------------- Although there are many "microwave-safe" plastic containers on the market, there are some who believe cooking with plastic (any plastic) poses a threat to your health. It is generally safer to cook your food in a ceramic or glass container when using a microwave. If you have any doubts, then just use non-plastic containers. It won't break the plastic companies banks if you switch to glass or ceramic dishes (there are plenty of other uses for plastic). One thing you should never do is reuse plastic containers that are from TV dinners, microwave pasta bowls, that sort of thing ... since those plastics are designed for a one-use only. It's best to stay away from those dinners anyway. If you're heating up coffee or a baby bottle full of milk in the microwave ... please use a glass or ceramic container for those as well. What you should not do is listen to CEOs or lawyers of plastic companies. I like plastic for many things, but heating plastic for cooking food ... I don't trust that.
