MICROWAVE POTATO SOUP



Microwave Potato Soup image

Lately, Mom's been doing quite a bit of my cooking thanks to being sick, dizzy, and nauseated. Other than canned chicken noodle, grilled cheese, and other "easy on the tummy" foods, potato soup is one of those things I'm enjoying because it's not spicy. This microwave recipe is relatively fast and pretty good. It's very basic and is a great "starter" recipe to be altered in any way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a thick, creamy soup. Make sure that whichever potato you choose is washed and peeled before you begin the soup.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Homemade broth is always best, but if you're short on time, you can use a store-bought broth. Just make sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup bland and watery.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Potato soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as chopped bacon, grated cheese, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Microwave potato soup is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
