Creamy Tomato Soup

Creamy Tomato Soup

Ingredients
  • ½ cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp dry milk
  • 1 Tbsp tomato powder
  • 1 Tbsp diced dried onion
  • 1 tsp butter powder
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp dry italian herb blend
  • ¼ tsp dried garlic
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp shelf stable bacon or bacon bits
Instructions:

At home blend everything but the bacon in a blender till combined. Pack in a pint freezer or sandwich bag, adding in the bacon or fake bacon before sealing the bag. Mark “Add 1 cup water” on bag.

FBC method:

Add near boiling water to the freezer bag. Stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 10 minutes.

Insulated mug method:

Add boiling water to the dry ingredients. Stir well, cover tightly and let sit for 10 minutes.

One pot method:

Add dry ingredients to water in your pot. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Turn off the heat, cover tightly and let sit for 5 minutes.

For all methods, add salt to taste, if desired.

Serves 1.
Notes:
It is a thick soup and would work well as a sauce over couscous or pasta. Adding a 7-ounce pouch of chicken will make a full meal for two, when used as a sauce. For a vegetarian version use vegetarian bacon bits, found in most grocery stores.
