Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (about 150g) Potato
- 0.5 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped green onion
Instructions
Peel the potato and cut it into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Place the potato cubes in a microwave-safe mug and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the mug loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a small plate.
Microwave the potato on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the potato is tender when pierced with a fork. Drain any excess water.
Using a fork, mash the cooked potato directly in the mug until mostly smooth.
Stir in the vegetable broth, milk, and butter. Mix until well combined.
Return the mug to the microwave and heat for another 1-2 minutes, or until the soup is hot.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Top with chopped green onion for garnish and serve immediately.
