Ingredients

  • Freeze-dried mixed vegetables (for example peas, corn, carrot, celery)
  • Freeze-dried onion or onion powder
  • Seasoning (salt, pepper, dried herbs)
  • Optional: freeze-dried broth or stock powder

Freeze-Dried Ingredients

  • • Freeze-dried mixed vegetables
  • • Freeze-dried onion or seasoning powder
  • • Optional broth powder

Fresh Ingredients

  • • None. All ingredients are dry and shelf-stable.

Preparation

  1. Combine the dry vegetables, seasonings and any broth powder in a sealed jar.
  2. Label the jar with the contents, approximate water needed and the date.
  3. At serving time, add hot water gradually, stirring.
  4. Let the soup rest so the vegetables rehydrate evenly, then taste and adjust seasoning or add a little more water.

Rehydration

Starting Water Estimate

All water amounts on this page are starting estimates, not tested ratios. Add liquid gradually, stir or rest, and adjust to the texture you want.

  • Soup rehydration is forgiving because the final soup is meant to hold water.
  • Let it rest with occasional stirring; if centers stay firm, wait longer or use hotter water.

Serving

One single-serve jar makes one bowl; multiply the dry quantities for family or camping batches.

Storage

The dry mix keeps like any freeze-dried food: sealed, cool, dark and dry. Once hot water is added it becomes a perishable soup and should be consumed promptly.

Storage depends on your packaging, dryness and conditions. See the Storage Center and the packaging guides for honest shelf-life guidance; no shelf-life claim is made on this page.

Notes

No shelf-life claim is made for this mix: it keeps only as well as your packaging, dryness and storage allow. See the Storage Center for honest guidance.
