Hi Bold Bakers!
Imagine a baked potato with all the trimmings: bacon, cheese, and sour cream. Now imagine that as a delicious, creamy soup made in the microwave from start to finish in MINUTES! It’s a delicious soup that is guaranteed to warm your cockles and fill you up until dinner.
The great thing about Mug Meals is they just require a handful of ingredients. Use what you have in your fridge and freezer. If you don’t like bacon, add in corn instead. Customize this soup to suit. This Microwave Potato Soup takes just a few minutes to make, even less time to cook, and you get a perfect single-serving portion. They’re great when you need something simple but still homemade, and they can be made up the day before for even more convenience.
I created all-new Mug Meal recipes that will cover you for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course dessert. If you like this recipe you will love my recipe for Mug Lasagna, Microwave Egg MugMuffin, Jelly Donut in a Mug, and Chocolate Pudding in a Mug.

Recipe Notes
Use a large mug because the water can bubble up in the microwave
Cut your potatoes small because they will cook faster
They can be mixed up in advance for an even speedier meal
Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave and the width and depth of the mug
You can bake them in the oven at 350oF (180oC) for roughly 10-12 minutes. However every mug is different so I advise checking on it after 10 and then make a call.
