Put this meal on the menu for any trip: It’s easy-prep trail food that will wow every palate...
The tastiest trail soup we've ever eaten.
Sure, everything tastes better in camp. So we tried this dehydrated meal at home too, just to confirm our field findings. It is delicious. The soup is the perfect appetizer for hungry troops, a satisfying belly warmer in cold weather and substantial enough to pass for dinner when only a light meal is needed. Plus, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Ingredients are simple: chicken breast, red peppers, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, spices and rice. But the result is gourmet. “It tastes like it’s been simmering in the kitchen all day,” summed up one satisfied tester. Serving size is legit for two hungry guys, and it comes with toppings that make it easy to customize according to taste: freeze-dried Monterrey Jack, tortilla chips, Tabasco sauce and lime juice.

Purchased this for a Thru hike Isle Royale September 2024 to test this meal out. Day 4 of hike evening after hiking 18 miles I opened this bag/critter up. My fellow hiking partners were well into their meals of 10 minute prep time. This meal takes around 30 minutes from start to complete. As they were chuckling at me waiting as they were full from their meals I was starving. Finally it all came together. The WAIT was worth it. EXCELLENT taste crispy chips ,favor spot on. As I was eating this meal and my other hiking friends also grabbed a couple bites- F’N awesome was their comments. I just ordered , stocked up on this meal for another hike. More then enough for one person to eat at one sitting. I stuffed remaining meal into two Burrito shells to eat on the go for next day hike. Perfect- I was very impressed with this meal- only draw back is it takes more time to prepare BUT the wait time is worth it.

One of my favorite meals

We really enjoyed this soup! The flavor isn’t overpowered by the spice. Will buy this one again.

I’ve been eating dehydrated meals in the backcountry for 30years. Packit Gourmet has solved the quandary for me on who to trust for the Quality of my outdoor meals. This tortilla soup is one that makes it on every trip, and even finds the dinner table at home frequently. Thank you for making such a fine product! Jeff

Delicious. I use a couple hacks: I reduce the water to make it more like a burrito bowl, and I leave out the broth, which cuts way down on the sodium.

I've been backpacking for 50+ years, most of them meticulously putting together my own 'gourmet' meals. After trying the Austintacious Tortilla Soup, I've kicked my homemade meal effort to the curb (as well as all of the salty, freeze-dried competitors). A Pack-It Gourmet meal is my reward at the end of a full backpacking day, and this soup is at the top of the list. So good with fresh tasting ingredients, I might even have one for dinner at home sometime!

We love this and get it for every backcountry trip!

I'm not usually a soup person, but this was very tasty. I especially liked that it came with Cholula sauce and lime powder.
