Total Time 8 minutes mins
- 3/4 cup water 6oz, 170g
- 3 tablespoons potatoes in small cubes
- 1 tablespoon white onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon bacon cooked
- 2 tsp cornflour cornstarch
- 1/2 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock, 4oz, 115g
- 1/4 cup milk 2oz, 56g
- Salt & pepper
- Sour cream for garnish optional
Add your potatoes and water into a large microwaveable mug. Microwave for 3-4 min or until the potatoes are tender. Check on it half way through and stir
Once cooked drain away the cooking water
Into the potatoes stir in the bacon, cheese and onions and cornflour. The cornflour will thicken your soup.
Stir in the stock and milk and season with salt and pepper
Place in the microwave and cook for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes or until it thickens and all of your ingredients have heated through. (Cooking time is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary) Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.
Serve topped with sour cream and some more sprinkles of bacon and chives
