Gourmet Soup & Chili Blend Sampler (12 ct)

I put in a review for the other Gourmet Sampler mix, but in case people didn’t see that one, I hope this is helpful. I prefer to just boil water when I backpack. I’ve made some delicious red lentil curry in the backcountry, but I like to keep my water pot free from the smell of seasonings and such. And DNR want to carry extra fuel or pits for cooking. The pouch meals so popular in the backcountry always seem to cool off before the food is ready. What had worked for me, particularly with Harmony House is to take Ali g an mauled food jar (Hydropeak or Stanley on Amazon) and put the pre-seasoned mix (the gourmet samplers are or you can season the other HH mixes with whatever Harmony house seasoning you want) n the food jar, pour n the desired amount of boiling water, put the lid on, and put n about 20 minutes it is still piping hot and ready to eat — and tastes pretty darn good as well. Does not make you feel like you just ate a processed food gut bomb either. If course you can cook it n a pot if you want. Either way, I highly recommend Harminy House products.

We made the corn chowder at home before going out on the trail, just to see how filling & flavorful (or flavorless) it would be. It was so delicious we were fighting over who got to finish it. While backpacking we looked forward to every meal & shared because we just couldn't keep it to ourselves. My past experience with trail food has always been pretty bland, with a less than satisfying texture, and always leaves my stomach a little unpleasant feeling. These samplers are the opposite of that in every way. Perfect perfect flavor, they cook well so no hard pieces, AND I feel healthy, happy and no stomach issues! Thanks for making the perfect backpacking meals Harmony House!

I purchased this sampler trying to find something that was nutritionally sound, tasted good and was substantial when eating. I wanted to have something that the family would not tire of eating in an emergency. I opted to try this and see what this food was all about. What a wonderful surprise. I have tried one pack each day and have not been disappointed yet. Both the chili and the soup mixes have flavors that taste like a gourmet chef came up with the ingredients. No kidding. Wonderful taste, wholesome food. When this box is finished, I will pick the favorites and purchase larger quantities. Great product.
