Well a thermometer can't measure the temperature in a microwave because microwaves are not actually heat producing. The microwaves cause friction in the water contained in a substance causing heat to form "cooking the substance". It is not very safe to stick a Mercury thermometer in the microwave or anything metal containing. All together I do not recommend sticking candy in a microwave.

What can you use to measure the temperature of soup?
You can use a cooking thermometer to measure the temperature of your soup. These are special thermometers specifically designed to be used in food. The ones that are used for humans are not suitable for food because they contain mercury, which is a poison. If the temperature is too high for the thin glass, it will crack and spill lethal mercury into the food. The thermometers designed for cooking have no mercury and are usually electronic. Some electronic soup makers will also show the temperature of the contents while it is cooking.
