Everyone loves soup, it is the ultimate comfort food.Whether you yearn for a traditional creamy tomato, a spicy fish chowder or a deliciously umami-rich ramen, a mug of soup is the perfect supper on the sofa, quick lunch and between-meal savoury snack.But a great-tasting soup has to involve long cooking with big pans and bulk ingredients, right?Wrong! Every soup in this book has been specially created to suit the microwave and to be cooked in a single mug, ready to eat.Instead of opening up a can, you can have an even yummier home-cooked mushroom soup, or chicken, even minestrone - made fresh in just the same amount of time.
