Ingredients (makes 2 servings)
- 2 squares of Ramen noodles
- 1 c Dehydrated Vegetables (for more savings, dehydrate your own veggies)
- 2-3 tsp Beef bouillon
- 2 c Water
Preparation at Home
- If you elect to dehydrate your own vegetables, we recommend using frozen veggies. Dehydrate in the oven or dehydrator at 135° F for 4-5 hours.
- Note that time depends on the type of vegetable you are doing. We usually do a mixed bag and 5 hours is sufficient to dehydrate the variety of shapes/sizes of vegetables. The Nesco brand dehydrator works well and is reasonable in price. You can also buy extra trays if you want to dehydrate large quantities at once.
- Vacuum seal vegetables and freeze or refrigerate until use. ( ½ cup of dehydrated vegetables is plenty for 1 person)
- Ziploc bags would work too but won’t keep the dehydrated vegetables fresh for as long. If you plan on using the batch within a few days, a ziplock bag is ok. We like to make a large quantity, so a vacuum sealer is needed to seal in the freshness. We like to get our refill bags for the vacuum sealer from Costco, and once in a while, they go on sale for $10 off!
- Gather ramen noodles and seal in a ziplock bag (1 ramen square per person is sufficient).
- Gather enough flavor for your soup and seal in a ziplock bag.
- If you want a different flavor, replace beef bouillon with your preferred seasoning. Use whatever your taste buds desire!
Cooking at Camp
- Boil water.
- Stir in dehydrated vegetables and bouillon. Cover and boil, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the vegetables appear full in size again.
- Add noodles to boil, stirring occasionally, until noodles appear soft (about 2 minutes).
- Pour into cups for all campers to enjoy the delicious easy to make soup!
Peace, love, and hike thru life!
