Best and easy soups to make while "out there", page

What soup or meal I would make would largely depend upon what the season is, as some edibles are fine to consume only at certain times of the year, or at the correct stage of the plants cycle. Assuming you are wanting to utilize what natural flora that nature provides.

I often bring along several prepackaged dried onion soup mix pouches. These are a great starter base for most any soup/stew, & it's light to pack in with you. To this, add what meat you may have, utilizing as much as possible. For rabbit specifically, I cut the rabbit into small serving size pieces. Browning lightly in the bottom of my pot. I don't drain the grease (there shouldn't be much anyways) as it imparts more flavor. Add water to cover & the package of dried onion soup mix. Cook over low fire until rabbit is done.

That is just a basic start I use, it's good as it is, but feel free to add available edible plants you may happen upon. (that you can positively i.d.) If available i forage for tubers, potatoes, leeks, & turnips.

A great thickener & flavor enhancer for stews is mushrooms, but the identification must be 100%, Mycology can be a dangerous endeavor.
I gather many mushrooms while in season, & use my food dehydrator to dry them, then i run them through a coffee grinder to pulverize them into a powder form. The powder takes very little space & a little goes a long way. I usually always take salt & my mushroom powder with me on my little adventures.

Oh & I ALWAYS have a good book on field identification with me, usually on the native flora/fauna of what area i will be in. I know a heck of a lot of edible plants in my area, but I don't by any means know them all. As such--my learning continues.
