Soup in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to quickly cook cheese mushroom soup in the microwave? Prepare your food. Any broth is suitable - vegetable, mushroom, chicken. I made mushroom broth from a cube. If you don't have broth, use water. Any mushrooms are also suitable, but the simplest version of the soup is prepared with champignons, since they do not require additional processing. Take 10% cream, any starch, natural cheese, without vegetable fats.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a glass container that can be microwaved. Choose a pot with high sides, as the soup may escape. It is better if it is made of glass rather than plastic. Pour the broth into it. Wash the mushrooms, dry and cut into small pieces. I also cleaned the caps of the mushrooms, but this is not necessary.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add mushrooms and onions to the broth. Cover the pan with a special microwave-safe lid with holes for steam to escape. If you don’t have one, then use an ordinary plate. Leave a small gap for steam to escape.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the pan in the microwave at the highest power setting for 10-15 minutes. I cooked at 750W for 15 minutes. You focus on the characteristics of your technique and adjust the time and power in accordance with this. The mushrooms should be completely cooked. Remove the pan from the microwave. Be careful not to get burned. Wait for the broth to cool slightly and puree the soup with an immersion blender.

6. STEP 6

   

   Crumble processed cheese into the soup. Pour the starch into a bowl and pour in the cream, stirring. Pour the starch diluted in cream into the broth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the pan again with a lid or plate. Place it in the microwave for another 5-7 minutes. During this time, the soup should warm up well and the cheese should melt in it. Remove the pan and stir the soup well to melt the remaining cheese. Salt and pepper it to taste. I didn't add salt since the cube broth is quite salty.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the soup hot, you can sprinkle it with herbs. It would be delicious to add crackers. Bon appetit!

I usually use the microwave to heat up food, but I rarely cook in it. Someday I'll try to cook this soup in the microwave. Thanks for the idea. In the meantime, I’m cooking this wonderful red fish soup with cream in a saucepan.

I'm interested in a microwave soup recipe. I’ve never cooked the first one before. For testing, I made 2 servings, as indicated in the recipe. I cooked the soup in water. I used potato starch. I don’t have special glassware that can be used in the microwave, so I made the soup in a deep, large plate. I cooked the mushrooms and onions at 800 W for 5 minutes, then took a break to let the plate cool down a little, then turned on the microwave for another 5 minutes. With diluted starch and cheese, the soup was cooked for another 6 minutes. Several pieces of cheese did not melt completely. I didn’t turn on the microwave yet, I just pureed the soup with a blender a second time. The soup turned out very tender, rich, and aromatic. It has a very pleasant viscous consistency. The soup tastes excellent too. It turned out no worse than in a saucepan on the stove. Thank you very much for the recipe, katushafin!
