Augason Farms Creamy Potato Soup Mix Can, Emergency Food Supply, Everyday Meals, 36 Servings

First, despite what another reviewer stated, this potato soup mix does NOT contain chicken or chicken broth as of this posting. The mix works just like the other dry potato soup mixes - boil water, add mix, heat for 15-20 minutes stirring regularly, let stand to thicken. It's great for camping, etc. The taste is as good as the big name mixes. Not bland straight. But you can easily build upon it - fresh potatoes and other veggies, cheese, bacon, etc. You could even switch out the water for various broths for additional flavors. Prepared per the label, it is a thick creamy soup. Increasing or decreasing the water amount will change that. After the 5 minute wait, it is fairly close to full consistency (and is still hot), but it will continue to thicken a bit more with a longer sit. You can easily make a few servings and refrigerate for quick microwavable meals. The price is good. And with the long shelf life, you can buy several when the price is right and just tuck them away for later.

It's cold and rainy today and I really wanted soup. But I had left over ground pork in the fridge and then I had an epiphany. So I made the soup (first time) and when it got close to being done I added the left over ground pork and lots of black pepper (I love black pepper) and oh my, this was sooooo good. Now, I did try about a quarter cup of it before adding the meat so I knew how it tasted. It's as delicious as the dried potato soup (next up, combining the two). I can see so many ways to use thing, it's going to be fabulous and what's great also is that you can use the contents of the can for up to a year. I'm single so sometimes buying bigger quantities of something can be a problem if it has to be eaten quickly.

I'm impressed. Here's my take on this product, I think you'll find it useful. First, I normally buy the bears creek broccoli cheddar soup, which normally runs about $4 a pouch. 1 pouch makes 8 cups so you're looking at roughly $1per 2 cups. This Auguson farm product comes in at about equal to 6 of those BC pouches if you follow their instructions, I'll get back to that in a minute. The product tastes very good, I was pleased. However the reconstituted broccoli bits do have a funny texture so I might cook my next batch a little longer to see. The resulting soup is very thick; so I'd recommend adding a bit more water and/or cream to your mix when you make it, the upside is that thins the product a little but also volumizes it so you get more than the # of servings they indicate on the packaging. This ability to make a filler is going to stretch your dollar a little farther for the cost of the soup but you can thicken or thin to your preference. There's no need to add flavor really, its quite tasty but do add pepper, bacon, cream, broccoli cutlets, parmesan etcetera to customize your own flavor preferences. All in all the compact container and ease of creation are going to make this a new future buy for my household for certain, the long shelf life and ease of storage take up minimal shelf space yet provide tons of soup at the drop of a hat, I definitely recommend this product. This is the ONLY brand that even compares in flavor to the bear creek soup.

Very good tasting soup and easy to prepare. it really doesn't need anything else although u can add whatever else you like. it is thick and tastes just like potato soup. there are hard bits of potato too so you need to cook it a little bit loner to soften them up. i made it a daily breakfast for one week and i still have a lot left so it a very good value. very customizable and it is very hearty soup.

Love this soup. Add what you want to it!. Delicious

I bought the cheddar broccoli soup. The soup it self was good but the broccoli bits were still hard for me to chew even after cooking it longer than they said so I had an epiphany. I shifted out with a fine mesh sifter All the broccoli bits threw them away now I make the soup different. I cook fresh broccoli separately in 4 cups of water. Once the broccoli is cooked. I drain it put it aside. I use the 4 cups of water that I cooked the broccoli in because that’s where all the nutrients are after cooking the broccoli and I use that to make the soup once the soup was made with the water from the broccoli. I add back the fresh broccoli and it is delicious. And nutritious and Ii dont throw the broccoli water away anymore. I get all the nutrients from it back try it. It works great and you can put as much broccoli in your as you like. If the soup is too thick, you can add more water. If it’s too thin, you can add a little cornstarch and water to thicken it up as much as you like use your imagination with the basis of the soup is great for experimenting with. it’s a great buy.

The potato Soup turns out great, thick and creamy, very easy to make

Very yummy and versatile. Didn't have enough broccoli for my taste, so I added some Augason Farms freeze dried broccoli, spinach flakes and onion. So delicious and comforting on such a cold day! Will buy again.
