I found these packets of "instant," single serving soups at Walmart the other day. They were $1.00 each and came in a few flavors. I also got the chicken noodle soup one. I just thought they were interesting and might be well worth it to keep a few around the house or to take camping with me and cook it up with the Jetboil.
I followed the directions as said on the backside of the package:
- In a large soup bowl, whisk contents of this packet with 1 cup of cold water, stir well.
- Microwave uncovered on high for 3 minutes.
- Stir then cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Let stand 1 minute, garnish if desired with bacon bits, chives, and cheddar cheese... ENJOY!
This is what it looked like before mircrowaving.
The final product after all the microwaving and stirring. I actually took it out of the microwave a little bit early because it started to pop. Served in my Jack Skellington mug and all is good. :) I've never had potato soup in the past, so I have nothing to compare it to. It tastes kind of like chicken broth... but thicker... and a little on the bland side (just a tad). In an emergency, yeah, I'd be happy with this. I'll pass on this for camping trips, though. Compared to the other instant soups I've had though, it's still a little better. I guess it's one of those instances where if I had it lying around, I wouldn't mind eating it, but I wouldn't go out looking for it.
Cheers! :)
