How to Dehydrate Soup
Dehydrating foods is beneficial for camping and hiking, allowing for more compact food without the worry of spoiling. A warm bowl of soup will certainly hit the spot at the end of long day of hiking or camping in the wilderness. With a food dehydrator from your local kitchen goods store, you can easily make your own dehydrated soup.
Things You'll Need
- Soup
- Food dehydrator
- Solid tray for dehydrator
Instructions
-
Prepare your soup. If you are using a canned soup, open the can. If you are making soup from scratch, prepare and cook your soup as normal, with the exception of the amount of water used. A puree consistency is preferred to an overly watery consistency.
-
Using solid tray liners or plastic wrap, drop the soup onto the tray in small circles no more than 3 inches in diameter. Keep the droplets thin, no thicker than 1/4 inch.
-
Load the trays into the dehydrator and set the temperature for 145 degrees Fahrenheit; leave them until dry. Drying time will depend on many factors, including the consistency of the soup and thickness of the soup loaded into the trays.
-
Once dry, carefully remove the dehydrated soup and place immediately into an air-tight glass container or a vacuum-sealed plastic bag.
-
When ready to eat, place soup in a bowl and add boiling water to rehydrate. Heat the soup, and add more water as needed until satisfied with the consistency.
