Meatball Mushroom cooked in a Hot Pot

A "Little Soup" cooked in a bowl which has been lowered into a hot pot, resting on spoons at the bottom to keep it off the element. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Meatball Mushroom soup in a Hot Pot

Of course it can be cooked in an ordinary saucepan or in a microwave oven.


5 vegetarian stock ice cubes
2 frozen meatballs
2 large mushrooms, sliced
1 green onion, chopped

Heat all together until mushrooms are cooked through and meatballs are hot. In a hot pot, it took 20 minutes.  In a microwave oven it would be 2 or 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add:

1/4 cup cooked pasta.  We used leftover gluten-free penne here.

Serve
