Powdered Hike Potato Soup

Pre-make this powdered hike potato soup before you head out on your next adventure. All you need to do is add some boiling water and mix to make a warm snack. This is a great option for a quick snack or warm drink on cold and rainy days or nights.

Although it is made from a simple set of ingredients, you can adjust the flavor with slight tweaks. You can play around with the amount of powdered Parmesan cheese or the mix to water ratio. Try adding additional dried herbs or spices or even dried bacon bits.

As this soup mix is very light and has a long shelf life, it can be stored away as a backup food for any outdoor adventure. It is particularly enjoyed on long, cold, and wet days when you need an easy pick-me-up before cooking the main meal. Everyone can carry an individual serving in their packs for an emergency ration.
