Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed bag of soup in the pot and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot). Cut one corner with scissors and pour the soup into a serving bowl.
  2. Alternatively, for microwave preparation: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the soup into a microwave-safe container. Do not microwave in the bag. Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, for 5-6 minutes. Be cautious, as the container and soup will be very hot.

Recipe Tips

For best results, use the stovetop method to ensure even heating.

Let the soup cool for a minute before serving to avoid burns.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
