This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com I’ve had a few Hits and Misses with long term storage foods, so I am always wary when anticipating a new product tryout. I never know how it will turn out. I received a sample of E-Foods meals. (Note: Apartment Prepper is not affiliated with E-foods; just providing an independent review.) The package contained three entrees: Creamy Potato Soup, Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Chicken and Rice Soup, with each packet containing about four servings.
The sample for Creamy Potato Soup was the one I opened for this review.
Preparation was easy:1. Boil 4 1/2 cups of water. Add the soup mix. The soup mix looked a bit like instant mashed potatoes so I wasn’t sure how it would turn out
2. Stir well and lower heat.
3. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. I wanted the soup to be soft and creamy so I left it for 25 minutes.
4. Stir and serve.
The instructions mentioned you can add other ingredients such as bacon, chicken clams, or corn for variety. I did not add any other ingredients as I wanted to try it plain.
The resulting soup had chunks of potato, was creamy and flavorful. I would say a packet that includes four servings would be enough to feed two adults for a hearty dinner.
