Extract from the book
Who makes soup these days when there are so many varieties available in the supermarket that only need re-heating?
I do, because there is no comparison between the home made and the pre-prepared versions. Home made soup is luscious, thicker and altogether tastier. If it’s cooked in a microwave oven it will also be bursting with nutrients.
All soups and pâtés cook perfectly in a microwave oven, though they often take as long to cook as they do on the top of the stove, due to the pasta or rice in them that needs re-hydrating during the cooking process.
However the end results are always excellent and there is no direct cooking source, so the bottom of the dish won’t burn – which is great for all those creamed soups. If the timer finishes and you have to leave the room, the soup won’t boil over, it will be at the same stage as when you left it, so just give it a stir and carry on.
