This homemade soup is perfect for the wintertime.
The sweetness and fragrance of the onions will really come out while microwaving.
You can also dip crunchy toast into the soup or sprinkle with grated cheese if preferred.
Try out the kombu based dashi version for a Japanese spin.

It's easy because you just leave the cooking to the microwave.
Since you'll be cooking this for a long time in the microwave, it'll be very hot inside. When removing the lid, be careful of the steam!
It's also delicious if you add black pepper or yuzu pepper paste. Recipe by Obiichan

Steps

1

These are the only ingredients.
2

Slice the onion and top with butter.
3

Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave (using the "boil root vegetables" setting, if available).
4

Add the cheese and consommé and microwave (using the same setting) again.
5

The cheese and onion will begin to burn slightly on the edges and turn golden brown.
6

Stir once and then microwave uncovered until it becomes cooked to your desired taste.
7

It will equal about 160 g, so separate into 8 portions.
8

Add one portion to a cup, pour in some hot water, mix very well, and you're done.
9

For a vegetarian version, instead of consommé, use 2 tablespoons of kombu dashi and it will still be delicious.
