Yes, you can make packet soup in the microwave.
Here's how to do it:
-
Combine Ingredients: Empty the contents of the packet soup into a microwave-safe jug (at least 2-liter capacity). Add approximately 600mL of cold water.
-
Microwave: Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. It's crucial to stir the soup well after 2 minutes and again after 4 minutes to ensure even heating and prevent clumping.
-
Stand: Allow the soup to stand for 2 minutes after microwaving. This helps to distribute the heat evenly.
-
Serve: Give the soup a final stir before serving.
Important Considerations:
- Microwave Wattage: Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's wattage. If your soup isn't hot enough after 5 minutes, microwave for an additional minute or two, checking frequently.
- Microwave-Safe Container: Always use a microwave-safe jug or container to prevent melting or damage.
- Stirring: Stirring is essential to prevent the soup from boiling over and to ensure all the powder dissolves properly.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a quick and easy packet soup made in the microwave.
