Lately soup's been a hyperfocus of mine, specifically ones I can freeze in those oversized ice tray things, then heat up and put in a thermos to take innawoods. Something drinkable that has decent protein, and also won't make me paint the heels of my boots in the middle of nowhere. Been looking at pea soups, just made some potato soup with cottage cheese for extra protien. I have some lentil curry in my freezer.I'm also thinking about a freeze dryer but that's a ways off. Any /out/ soup recommendations? What do you guys like to eat in the sticks?
fasting or pemmican
>>2880088>triple dubsi usually eat dry stuff, like nuts and raisins/dried fruits, because its light, i have a lot of heavy shit on me when i'm out and about because i only take 48h tracks at most. But if you have a tooth for soups i recommend soups made out of dried meat and corn, a geologist cooked that up for the group on one of my first hikes and it was one of the tastiest meal i've ever had
I know a lot of people love coffee while they're /out/ but I hate it, gives me the shits.The middle of nowhere is the second to last place I'd want to have the shits.
>>2880090didn't even notice, hell yeahWhat kind of dried meat? Jerky, biltong, summer sausage? What was the recipe like?
>>2880088I mean if you like soup you can do "orange soup" that I often make at home.500g sweet potato500g pumpkin (butternut squash is good)250g carrot 2 medium yellow onions50g bacon cubes or chopped up slices2 tsp ground cumin2 tsp ground ginger2 tsp turmeric1 tsp ground cloves (if you use whole cloves put em in a tea egg or something to fish em out)2 tsp gochujang if you like a bit of heat1.5 liter stock. I prefer mushroom stock but chicken is ok too.Brown bacon cubes in olive oil, strain out the bacon and slowly caramelise the carrot and onion in the fat. Chuck in the spices on low-med and bloom. Then add the rest of the veg and heat through on med / med-high. Add gochujang.Add stock, simmer for 15 mins or so until all the veg are soft. Blender. Chuck the bacon bits back in.BUT... I personally don't like taking a thermos. I like to make a thick hard tack "stew" with just some spices, dried fruit and beef jerky. Or just do a dehydrated meal. Or bread, cheese and dried fruit no heat required. Or fresh caught fish over an open flame with some flatbread and have an orange as dessert. Double serving whole grain instant noodles with spam.Apple cinnamon hand pies. Pulled chicken and caramelised cabbage hand pies. Bbq pork belly onigiri. Lamb mince flatbread. Spanakopita. Basically any type of precooked filling in a carb jacket just ready to go with no flame is excellent in my opinion. In the end, the important thing is a filling meal that preferably has some meat and veg in it, or at least some source of fibre if no veg. I dont like hemorrhoids acting up when hiking.
>>2880092as far as i know he made that meat himself in an oven at home while only using an disgusting amount of salt. i mean it checks out it was an non nondescript jar and a loose bag of dry corn kernels. the only recipe i can give you is that you dump all of your stuff and your backup water supply into the pot and cook it until it smells nice. atleast that what we did. pictured is the thingy he cooked the soup in, but it was way,way, way more burned
>>2880088I go with:Chickpeas flakes, Instant mashed potatoes, dry fried onions and some spices.Just add boiling water, weights almost nothing.For protein I bring dry sausage, it's compact and very protein dense.
>>2880088nigga literally carrying soup when you're not supposed to even carry the water inside raw vegetables and fruits
>>2880754>you're not supposed to even carry the water inside raw vegetables and fruitsaccording to whom? ultracucks?
>>2880781no it's also a preserving measure
>>2880093How do your hand pies keep? Had never considered this option, headed /out/ for a week in a few days here, might try this for lunches.
>>2880088Went car camping with my family, made a normandy-style braised rabbit in my dutch oven. 10/10, will be cooking it again.
>>2880783>>2880783what are you even talking about? I always carry vegetables and fruits without any problems
>>2880879if you go out for more than a day in summer they will go bad unless you dry them and dried ones are lighter
>>2880882depends,apples, any citrics, potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers will be good for many days
>>2880943those are just the side characters not the main protagonist vegetables
>>2880088>1lb diced bacon>1lb dried peas, ground into coarse flour>1/2lb lard>1 diced onion>1oz sugar>1oz saltDivide the lard between two pans, fry the onion in one pan and the bacon in the other until all of the water is gone from both of them. Mix them together with the sugar, salt and ground peas, add some dried herbs and spices if you want some extra flavor, then spoon it into some silicone molds and wait for it to cool down. The amounts here will make about 8 portions, each of which can be mixed with boiling water to make about a pint of thick soup. It's very dense and will keep for years in an airtight container.
