Loaded Baked Potato Soup In A Mug

This Loaded Baked Potato Soup In A Mug recipe begins by microwaving diced potatoes with water until tender. The cooking water is then drained, and cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and cornflour are stirred into the potatoes. Cornflour acts as a thickening agent to give the soup body. Chicken stock and milk are added next, along with salt and black pepper for seasoning, then the mixture is microwaved again until thick and heated through. This preparation yields a rich, creamy soup with hearty potato pieces and smoky bacon, all in a convenient single-serving mug format. It can be garnished with sour cream and additional bacon or herbs as desired.

This soup is ideal for a quick and comforting snack or light meal without needing to cook a large batch. Its preparation in the mug avoids extra dishes and allows flexibility in portion size.

For best results, use a sufficiently large mug to prevent spilling during microwaving, and finely dice potatoes for faster cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage and mug dimensions, so adjustments might be needed. Alternatively, the soup can be baked in the oven for a short time but watch closely to avoid overcooking.
