Ingredients

Soup Mix

  • 1 cup (250 mL) dry green lentils
  • 1 cup (250 mL) dry red split lentils
  • 1 cup (250 mL) dry yellow split peas
  • 1 cup (250 mL) long grain white rice

Spice Mix

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) cumin
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) dried oregano
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) dried basil
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) dehydrated garlic (see notes)
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground pepper
  • 2 vegetable broth cubes, finely crumbled (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dehydrated onion, (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup 125 mL chopped, dehydrated sun dried tomatoes (see notes)

Directions

  • Mix together green lentils, red split lentils, yellow split peas and rice. Divide and place into two medium sized zip lock bags.
  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, basil, garlic, salt, pepper and crumbled broth cubes until well blended. Stir in dehydrated onion and tomato. Divide into 2 small plastic bags or containers and place inside each bag of lentils/peas and rice.

To make soup using one zip lock bag of mix

  • In a large, fire proof cooking vessel, add soup mix and stir in 5 cups (1250 mL) water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat (move to a cooler area of the camp grill) and simmer, stirring often for 20 minutes. More water may be necessary for a "soup" consistency. Add additional water, if necessary, and spice packet. Cook for another 10 minutes to rehydrate the vegetables.

Notes

  • Dehydrated garlic, onion and tomato can be found in the produce section of the grocery store.
  • You can use 2 Tbsp (30 mL) vegetable instant stock mix instead of the cubes. You can also use chicken or beef cubes/stock mix if you don't need the soup to be vegetarian.
