Instant Potato Soup Mix

When cool afternoons or rainy days approach it is always a good time to make a pot of homemade soup. Soup is generally an especially popular meal with the men in your life whether they are your 12 years old sons or your thirty some year old husband. In many cases a dehydrated version of soups can be created in the event that fresh products are not available at the market place. This situation could result from a major national emergency such as hurricanes or floods which would prevent the supply trucks from arriving at their destination. With our instant soup recipe all you will need to do is open the jar and pour the contents into a medium pot of hot, boiling water.

The following recipe will make enough soup for 12 servings therefore you could perhaps invite a neighbor in for a mealtime treat. This affords you the opportunity to show your friends and family how simple and inviting a sufficient food storage program can be. When saving up your family food supplies always remember to store what you eat and eat what you store.

Ingredients

1/4 cup of granules of chicken bouillon
3 cups of instant mashed potato flakes
2 tablespoons of dry minced onions
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon of dry parsley flakes
1/2 tablespoon of dill weed
1/2 teaspoon of thyme
1 cup of instant milk
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1/8 cup of crushed bacon bits

Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl except for the bacon bits. In your food processor or by hand grind up the bacon bits until they appear crumbled up. This will allow them to combine with the other ingredients better. After crumbling up the bacon bits add them to the mixture and stir well until they are evenly mixed with the other products.

Package the final product in quart jars and place an oxygen absorber in each. The jars of potato soup should store nicely for at least eight to ten years.

To use this recipe take 12 cups of water and bring to a rapid boil. Add the dry mixture and lower the heat to a simmer. Allow to cook for 20 minutes until all ingredients are tender.

To add some variety to the above recipe you could add some canned or dehydrate ham to the initial ingredients. Serve with a sprig of parsley if available or top with some fresh sliced onions, in either case serve with croutons or homemade Italian bread.

Zombie Titanic was a free kindle book at the time of this blog post. Great read for anyone who loves zombie books. A totally different take on the sinking of the Titanic.

 'Professor,' said Elizabeth, in the tone she normally reserved for over-familiar suitors and clumsy seamstresses. 'I confess to being quite at my wits' end. Surely no invention, however grand, can be worth your life? What on earth could be of such importance?'
The professor regarded her with bemusement.
'Why, guns, Miss Harkness.' he said, gravely. ' A veritable plethora of guns.'



The Titanic, pride of the White Star Line, largest ship on the ocean, is about to make its maiden voyage...but below decks, a terrible plague threatens everyone aboard. Can jiu-jitsu practising suffragette Elizabeth Harkness, Spanish-American war veteran James Tavistock and William Moss, the strongest man on the sea, save the passengers from a watery grave?

I use this recipe a lot. I love it - no measuring or anything. Put everything into a oven safe bowl and bake until done.

Homemade Scalloped Potatoes

NEED:

Potatoes - however many that you want to use for how many people you will be feeding. Slice them thin.

Milk

salt and pepper

Slice the potatoes up and layer in glass oven safe pan. Pyrex is best. Put some flour all over this. Put Real butter over this in chunks. Salt and pepper it to taste and then pour milk over all until it JUST covers the potatoes. Bake in oven at 375 degrees until the potatoes are tender and the milk is cooked into the potatoes. Cover it with some cheese and bake until the cheese melts. Another few minutes.

This is an easy dish and can be changed up some. You can add bacon or ham. You can use different types of cheese. Just about do anything to this.
