Guide to Bear Creek Soup Mixes for Your Prepper Pantry


Hi, it's Alaska Granny. If you're searching for simple, prepackaged foods that require minimal cooking and can make a large meal for a big family, consider adding Bear Creek soup mixes to your prepper pantry and food storage stockpile. These soup mixes are affordable, costing only a few dollars, and each package contains eight full servings. All you need to do is add water—eight cups per package—and cook for about 15 minutes to have a meal ready to eat.

Benefits of Bear Creek Soup Mixes

I enjoy Bear Creek soups because they are similar to dehydrated meals or even backpacker-type meals but are far less expensive and provide a lot more food. This makes them an excellent option for those looking to have affordable, substantial meals on hand. However, it's important to note that these soup mixes do not last forever and should be rotated every few years to maintain freshness. Proper storage, such as keeping them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place, can extend their shelf life.

Preparing Bear Creek Vegetable Beef Soup

Today, I'm preparing a package of Bear Creek Vegetable Beef Soup. Besides the soup mix and water, I'm enhancing the meal by adding a can of Herford roast beef, which comes with gravy. This addition makes the soup even tastier and more satisfying.

Here's how to prepare it:

  1. Get a large pot: Start with eight cups of water and bring it to a boil.
  2. Add the soup mix: Stir in the Bear Creek Vegetable Beef Soup mix thoroughly to dissolve all the powders.
  3. Check for rehydration: The soup contains dehydrated vegetables that need to be fully rehydrated. Cook for about 15 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are completely softened.
  4. Add extra ingredients: Stir in the can of Herford roast beef and let it simmer. The added meat makes the soup heartier and more delicious.
  5. Alternative cooking method: You can also prepare this soup in a crockpot. Combine all ingredients, stir, cover, and cook on high for 3-4 hours for fantastic results.

Variations and Suggestions

Bear Creek soup mixes come in various flavors, and you can customize them with additional ingredients to suit your taste. For instance, adding canned meat or extra vegetables can enhance the meal. The vegetable beef soup I'm preparing today becomes even more delicious with the added Herford roast beef.
