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.

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

YUM! This is the a really delicious meal after a long day on the trail. I eat this on hot summer evenings and in the snow. My fellow backpackers eating Mountain House meals are always really jealous when they try my Tortilla Soup. It's really filling and has a lot of protein to support the next 15 miles. This one's a winner!

Let me just say that PackItGourmet is my family's absolute, hands down FAVORITE brand of backpacking food. My 15 yr old son snagged the only Tortilla Soup pack from a sampler pack I purchased and we made it on a high elevation backing trip this last weekend (11,600+ - added 1 minute of time for every 1,000' over sea level). The whole family (5 of us) sampled the soup and we were all blown away at how delicious this soup is. Planning a week long canoeing trip in a couple of weeks and every family member requested the Tortilla Soup be ordered for one dinner. And I heard my husband talking to one of his buddies on the phone this morning about this soup - it really is that good!

A delicious, spicy, and filling meal. A staple of my backpacking menu.

Loved this soup! I will definitely buy again.

I purchased some Packit Gourmet meals in preparation for our late fall camping trip. We wanted to try something out in advance, so we chose the Tortilla Soup. My wife and I both loved it. The broth was great, and the rice was perfectly cooked as were the vegetables. The lime crystals were a big hit with both of us, and I am a big hot sauce fan so I welcomed the the packet of Cholula. We will purchase more of this for the trip. Thank you Packit Gourmet!

I won this meal at a camping event. Best trail meal ever. Better than anything I've ever bought or made. I used all the packets and it was delicious!

I concur with the other reviews, this a truly a great soup/meal. This one reconstituted very well, nothing crunchy. I omitted the hot sauce.

I never write reviews, however, I am now after trying many of the P.G. meals. The Austintacious Tortilla Soup is GREAT! I don't think I ever had Tortilla soup prior to trying this one, but have a hard time believing there's a better one out there. You will not be disappointed!

PERFECT! My boyfriend considers himself to be a Tortilla Soup Expert . . .and he really loved this soup. It was just what we needed after a long rainy and chilly day of hiking at Glacier National Park.
