There are two ways to cook it: in the microwave or by heating in hot water. This time, we will cook it in the microwave.

First, open the box along the opening and fold down the edges.

Place it in the microwave without removing it from the bag.

Heat for the specified time.

Once heating is complete, remove the contents from the bag and it's done.

It has a moderate thickness and tastes more like 'corn soup' than 'stew'. It feels a little more milky than regular corn soup, but it's pretty much the same as corn soup. I poured it into a deep dish this time, but it would also be good to pour it into a mug and sip it little by little.

The ingredients included carrots, sweet corn, and chicken, and the carrots were cooked so softly that they crumbled when you pressed them with your tongue, which was great.
