Start by placing a microwave-safe mug or dish on a stable surface.
Add the elbow noodles and cold water to the mug, then stir in the chicken bouillon if you're using it, making sure the water covers the noodles.
Microwave on high for about 4 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the noodles are cooked.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and stir in the heavy whipping cream.
Add the shredded cheese and mix until it's evenly distributed.
Microwave again for 40 seconds, or until the cheese has melted and the mixture is hot.
Stir once more, then allow it to cool briefly before enjoying.
