What exactly does 100 percent in a high powered over mean?

In a microwave oven. Ms Kafka has written several excellent microwave cookbooks.

Just below the recipe title is reference to Microwave Cooking. Therefore, cook on high (full power).

I followed the recipe as listed but used my Instapot pressure cooker setting instead of a microwave oven. It worked, but I'd recommend adding the peppers and onion in with the celery step so they stay a bit firmer. I also think bacon would be a great addition... but when is it not!?!

Made this tonight with the following modifications because I prefer a stove top prep: For Step 1: Cooked onion, pepper and potatoes in 3 T olive oil over low heat for 5-8 minutes, then added 1 1/2 c water, covered pot and cooked for 5 minutes more. Then I completed recipe as written but cooked on stove top and used 1 1/2 c 2% milk (because that's what I had on hand) in place of milk and cream. A delish chunky soup. Garnished with crumbled bacon. Divine!

Nate, recipe says “Microwave Cooking” just above Ingredients. Use a 1200 watt microwave oven (or higher), not one of those 700 watt models.
