Mother Earth Products Dried Vegetable Soup Mix Jar, 10oz

I make Ramen soup and have been using it as a base and add whatever is at hand. Sometimes I throw in shrimp or a raw egg or a small can of vegetables. This dried mix has really worked out well. You have to change cooking times because the mix has to cook at least ten to fifteen minutes before adding the noodles and spices. Tastes pretty good and is convenient. Thanks

I am not a prepper in the sense that I have a bug-out bag packed with essentials that I can take with me when I escape into the forest, where I have buried caches. I'm nearly 73 years old, and I'd run out of Levothyroxine within a month anyhow, so I don't do that. However, I have always liked to have enough food on hand that I could survive for a time in the event that something goes terribly wrong. When I was younger, that might have involved losing a job, but today, it might be an interruption in services for one reason or another. However, since I don't really believe that this is likely to occur, I am not buying a ton of survival food, particularly not of the type that I wouldn't eat unless I were starving to death. I mostly buy stuff that will keep without refrigeration and that I would (and do) eat anyway. Dried soup mixes are perfect for this. I like soup and don't hide this stuff in my attic to await an emergency. Rather, I eat it regularly and buy more, so I have a supply of it. This is good soup, and it's far more affordable than buying all of these ingredients fresh, much of which would probably spoil or go to waste before it was eaten. The ingredient list does not look like something put together in a chemistry lab, as is the case with some of the stuff you might find in a can. The ingredients are as follows: carrot flakes, chopped white onions, tomato flakes, peas, celery flakes, green bell peppers, green beans, and parsley flakes. It is non-GMO; if it matters, it is also kosher and vegetarian vegan. Made into soup, it tastes pretty good as is. Simply add water, bring it to a boil, and simmer. Since I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan, I often add chicken, kielbasa, or another protein, and I usually add a bouillon cube to it for added taste. As said, however, it tastes pretty good without the additions. It has a two-year expiration date, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be edible long after that date. As for the cancer warning, pretty much everything causes cancer in California, so I wouldn't worry about that. It's probably a reference to the plastic container; don't eat that.

I bought this for a friend who is not a cook but needed some way to feed herself while undergoing some illness and surgery recovery. I bought one for myself as well and I have to say the first time I made it, I did not cook it long enough. The second time I made it I put it in the instant pot, cooked it and let it natural pressure release. Popped it in the fridge for that week's meals and it was absolutely delicious. So for me it really just needs extra rehydration time and some seasoning, because it doesn't have a lot of seasoning on its own. I will definitely buy them again because I I'm tired of throwing away vegetables when I don't get around to making soup as planned. It's great to have them available right when I want them.

Absolutely perfect for a quick soup!

I like Ramen, but the common Ramen is just a package of dry noodles and a packet of bouillon. Not very nourishing. The Ramen in a cup is better, but costs more and doesn't hold much. The only difference between the two is a spoonful of dried vegetables, So I searched for dried vegetables and found this. I placed two tablespoons of this mix in my saucepan. Then I cut up three slices of turkey breast loaf into slightly less than half inch pieces and put it into the pan with the veggies. Then I added water according to the directions. For seasoning I added some poultry seasoning and some dried onion flakes. Then brought the water to a boil. While I was waiting, I got out a pack of Chicken Ramen. Since I like to eat my soup with a spoon, I whacked the pack, while still closed with the back of a tablespoon until the noodles were broken into small pieces. When the water boiled, I added the noodles and cooked them for three minutes' then opened the flavor pack and placed the bouillon in the bottom of the soup bowl. Meanwhile I toasted three slices of bread for dipping. (The label on the jar said simmer the veggies for a half hour, but I found that warming them with the water and boiling them with the noodles was sufficient.) The result was a very satisfying meal. The dried veggies soaked a lot of the excess broth and added bulk to the resulting soup. If you wanted a soup and sandwich combo, there would be enough to serve two people. The taste of dried veggies is different from canned, frozen or fresh, but I like it. The bits of chicken breast change the flavor quite a bit, too. Altogether, this is an excellent addition to Ramen noodles and makes the soup more nourishing. Of course, you could also add it to homemade soups as well as canned soups. A very useful thing to keep in your pantry.

Great product, could do with a little less celery. But, other than that this was delicious and worth the price.

These are fabulous. My first adventure into the dehydrated veggie market. Love the assortment of veggies, not too oniony, these go a huge way once poofed back up. I made the gourmet favorite food-ramen. Added quarter cup veggies and better than bouillon along with 2 T of parmesan cheese and extra boiling water to a ramen pkg (lime spicy shrimp). You'd think I invented hearty soup by the way the fam reacted- all out applause! For about 5 minutes work before heating, these will go a long long way. Package great, and NO DUST!! I look forward to using in omelets, pasta sauces and more soups and crockpot stuff. No prep other than opening the container! Even going to try in a veggie potato dish and stir fry if I get brave. I will buy again and feel no need to try other brands because this has everything that makes me look talented. They taste great, poof up most of the way depending on how long you want to heat them to reconstitute, and how soft or crunchy you like them. Might even try in simple sourcream dip with parm- like a knorrs cheat! You'll b very happy and noone will know how ez it is unless you tell. 🙃 They even smell great. Best of all- nothing but veggies. No additives, colors, or chemicals or salt!! It ends up costing less than canned, frozen or fresh and is virtually idiot proof. Go for it and get healthy added in without even trying! Oh, I didn't get buckage, free product or bribes. Just really like the product, hopefully it eases any doubts to try these. One of the first prepper things I've tried, and I'm so proud of me! Bol you won't b sorry.

This is a tricky one. I thought about getting into making soup and I purchased this. I then found out that making soup is somewhat of a task. Once I figured it out, it tasted great. Great soup mix highly recommend.

Preparé un arroz con con los vegetales deshidratados y salió espectacular y muy sabroso
