Mug Recipes are such a handy thing to have! If you've never heard of Mug Recipes, they're probably just what you think they are: single-serve recipes you can make right in a mug! As an extra bonus, they take 5 minutes or less to make.
Today I'll share with you a really quick and easy lunch Mug Recipe, and you'll get a great bonus at the end of this post, too, that is a fun and unique gift idea!!
As with all the recipes here at Easy Pantry Recipes, this potato soup recipe can be made with shelf-stable (pantry-friendly) ingredients, which means you can have these ingredients always on hand.
LOADED BAKED POTATO SOUP IN A MUG
PREP TIME: 2 minutes
COOK TIME: 3 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 c. chicken broth
- 1/2 c. pantry-friendly milk (I like this kind; or, you can substitute any milk of your choice, including fresh/non-pantry-friendly)
- 1/3 c. instant potato flakes
- dash garlic powder
- toppings of your choice, such as chives, bacon bits, shredded cheese (freeze-dried, pantry-friendly shredded cheese can be found here)
DIRECTIONS
Microwave the chicken broth in a large mug for 2 minutes or until boiling. Whisk in milk, potato flakes, and garlic powder until smooth. Microwave 45 seconds. Add toppings as desired.
That's it! It's a quick and easy lunch.
AND A FUN GIFT IDEA
with an awesome bonus:
A couple of years ago, I decided that putting this recipe right on a 15-oz. mug would make such a fun gift idea! This microwavable mug is big enough to stir the ingredients and then eat from. I created the mug using Artisan digital scrapbooking software, then submitted it for professional printing at the Forever Print Shop.
I love how it turned out!
I've made this mug available for ordering, so if you think this would make a great gift idea, too, it's easy to do. (You will love the price!)
All you need to do is find the mug at this link and then click the "add to cart" button above it. (If there's a current sale, the sale price will be shown.) You'll then be prompted to open a (free) Forever account, and *you will receive a $20 coupon after you verify your email address, which you can use toward this mug (or even two!).
What a great bonus to get this mug *free, right?!
*Forever offers $20 coupons to new users.
