HMR Recipes - Chicken Soup

There are many ways to dress up the otherwise bland HMR chicken soup. My favorites are as follows:

Chicken Soup
1 cube chicken bullion
1 packet HMR chicken soup
hot water

that's it... melt the bullion cube in the hot water (typically 1.5 - 2 cups, depending on your taste and how salty and thick you like your soup). The Chicken bllion adds a wonderful salty chicken soupy flavor that the hmr chicken soup alone can't match.

If you want something a little spicy or you can't have salt, try using Salsa. Again, add as much or as little as you want and depending on the Salsa and your tolerance for spicy.

I have started experimenting with different spices and flavoring packets. I tried taco seasoning once, not so good. I'm going to try chicken taco seasoning next time to see if it works any better. I have also tried it with ranch dressing (powder only). It was ok, but nothing special. It did thicken it up a bit though which was nice. The packet spices tend to add about 10 - 15 calories but be sure to read labels carefully. Some packet spices have as much as 80 calories per serving (1tsp) DRY!
