A soup kitchen meal story

A soup kitchen meal story

       At least I and the yard dogs liked it

            The ingredients were pretty simple.

            I used a double boiler to heat it and maintain the temperature, but a regular old pot would probably do just as well.

            The ingredients were: local water, dehydrated vegetable soup mix ( with dehydrated carrots, onions, tomatoes, peas, celery, green bell peppers, green beans, and parsley), and some extra tomato powder.  To that I mixed in one small tin of potted meat food product to add some extra flavor and fat to the meal. The amount of ingredients depends on the size of the pot(s), and your fancy.

            Being a Marine implies three things per this meal story. One is that I rehearse everything I can if the time and situation permits. Second is that I eat whatever I make as part of my rehearsal method. Third is that boiling the whole meal made it food safe to eat.

            And there is a fourth factor, too. Anything warm is good for morale about anytime of the year.  And some honesty from the leaders about the situation sure helps morale, too.
