Ingredients
Instructions
- Stovetop method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Submerge the sealed bag of soup in the boiling water 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.
- Microwave method: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the soup into a microwave-safe container. Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. Be careful-the container and soup will be very hot.
Recipe Tips
For extra richness, stir in a splash of milk or cream before serving.
Top with additional shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper for garnish.
If the soup is too thick, thin it with a little chicken broth or milk.
