American · Soup · 30 min total

A hearty, lightweight soup that can be made over a campfire or on a backpacking stove, using shelf-stable ingredients for easy packing.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dehydrated mixed vegetables
• 1/4 cup dried onion flakes
• 1/4 cup instant rice or couscous
• 2 tablespoons vegetable bouillon powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups water

Instructions

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a resealable plastic bag or lightweight container.
2. At camp, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot over a campfire or backpacking stove.
3. Add the dry mixture to the boiling water, stir, and reduce heat to a simmer.
4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and rice are tender.
5. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and serve directly from the pot.

Tips

• For extra protein, add a handful of dried TVP (textured vegetable protein) or a packet of pre-cooked chicken.
• Store the dry mix in a waterproof bag to keep it fresh during your trip.
• Adjust water amount for desired thickness; add more for a brothier soup.
