Well this will be interesting - The first test was on a Fire Maple stove with a canister and a 900ml pot.
I purchased this [IMG:http://www.soupsonline.com/images/Product/medium/414.jpg] and much has changed! This 4 oz package delivers 2 dinners. That's a $1.5 for each... Just prior to backpacking divide the package equally into two real Glad bags... you cannot use knock offs they melt. I pour the contents onto a cutting board from a one dollar board, they are flexible and I use it as a stiffener inside my UL backpack. Move it around with a knife and desperate equally the ravioli and powder. Some additives you can get without crimping style! Deanna (m wife) likes adding soup starter two tablespoons... Do not add carrots - this is loaded. I added half a packet of Knox Gelatin, no flavor - its a thickener and more important better for joint health. This product is a little salty to me... but some of the powder stayed in the packet... I am in a place where I can add more tiny chopped dried chicken, or real bacon bits, may be some more onion flakes, but this was a initial test.
Another idea is a huge soda straw of grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top after making this and/or oyster crackers on the surface adding another 70 kcal per dinner
Bring 2.5 cups to a boil about 4-5 minutes depending on altitude. That's one inch lower than the pot. Add glad bag pour into the pot. (not the usual method)
Stir like the devil for a minute, Reduce to a simmer... here is a rub... cook for 20 minutes This should slightly boil the entire simmer.
300 kcal per dinner.
So thoughts - its steep and cheap! down side without the simmer the mini ravioli is chewy... full of flavor... if you find this too salty next time add two TABLESPOONS of plain potato flake, knocks the salt to better numbers.
