On to the actual review...
Yes, this stuff is expensive. But it might not be quite as expensive as you think, considering that the vegetables double in volume when rehydrated—so figure that a one-quart container will get you two quarts of cooked vegetables and a one-gallon jug will get you two gallons. Besides, they’re non-perishable vegetables. They don’t go bad if you forget about them for five minutes as fresh vegetables frequently do, they don’t take up precious freezer space, and they take up less pantry space than an equivalent volume of canned vegetables and taste better too. On top of that, they’re convenient. Vegetable soup without chopping any vegetables? I’m in. (Raise your hand if you really love chopping onions. Yeah…not seeing any hands.) And by the way…check the Harmony House website. Just saying.
A couple of tips for using these:
1. Always turn the container upside down and shake it a couple of times before measuring out your vegetables. Otherwise, the parsley tends to settle to the bottom and your last few scoops out of the container will be about half parsley.
2. Rehydrate the vegetables in cold water for several hours before cooking them. You don’t HAVE to do this, but the vegetables will cook more quickly and be more tender if you do. (But be aware that these vegetables are always faintly crunchy, even after being rehydrated and cooked. Don’t expect them to take on the texture of canned vegetables, because they never do.) To rehydrate, just put two parts water to one part vegetables in a covered container and let it sit in the refrigerator all day or at room temperature for a few hours. If possible, stir them a couple of times while they rehydrate. (No, they won’t spoil if you leave them at room temperature for a few hours, any more than a fresh raw carrot or tomato would.)
If you’re trying to keep a stock of non-perishable foods on hand, here are a couple of recipes that can be made entirely with non-perishable pantry ingredients.
VEGGIE-NOODLE SOUP
--1/2 cup vegetable soup mix, rehydrated in 1 cup water (i.e., about 1 cup rehydrated vegetables)
--2 14-oz cans reduced-sodium chicken broth (for thinner soup) OR 1 can chicken broth plus about ½ cup water (for thicker soup)
--Seasonings to taste (I use basil, oregano, and minced garlic, sprinkled in until the soup smells good)
--1 cup dry elbow macaroni or other pasta
--Optional: 1-2 tbsp spinach powder
Combine the vegetables, broth, and seasonings in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add the macaroni and simmer another 8-10 minutes until vegetables and macaroni are tender. If using spinach powder, add immediately before serving. Makes about two bowls of soup.
LENTIL-VEGETABLE STEW
--1 cup dry lentils
--2 14-oz cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
--1 14-oz can tomato sauce
--1 ½ cups vegetable soup mix, rehydrated in 3 cups water (i.e., about 3 cups vegetables)
--Seasonings to taste (I use basil, oregano, and minced garlic, sprinkled in until the soup smells good)
Combine the lentils, broth, and tomato sauce in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Add the seasonings and vegetables and simmer for another 15-20 minutes until lentils and vegetables are tender. Makes 4-5 bowls of soup.
Lots of variations are possible with either of these recipes. For example, you can use vegetable broth for a completely vegetarian meal; add additional vegetables such as spinach (not in powder form, that is) or corn; dress them up with chopped cooked meat (good way to use up a little bit of leftover chicken or ham); or add rice, noodles, or barley to the lentil-vegetable stew.
Anyway, if you can stomach the price of this soup mix, buy some. Your stomach will be glad you did.
my only concern is how clean the vegetables are and the amt of pesticides, when you buy dried vegetables its a crap shoot what you get and theres no way to tell. id be first in line if they went organic.
if i had my druthers id do my own but no space for it. this is the next best thing
I like the fact that this product is pure vegetable and herb. No fillers, No MSG, no weird preservatives I can't pronounce. A silica preserving packet is included in the container. The caloric content is 58 calories per 1/4 cup dry product. 0 fat and cholesterol and only 49 mg of sodium per serving. Ingredients as listed in order on the label: Dehydrated carrots, Onion, tomatoes, peas, celery, green bell peppers, green beans and parsley.
This makes a nice soup base with water but I prefer to use chicken or vegetable broth. I also like to reconstitute the mix and add it to whipped cream cheese or greek yogurt for a nice dip. I also reconstitute and add it to scrambled eggs! It is great added to your meatloaf or hamburger mixtures too. Some uses do call for it to be rehydrated but there are other uses that benefit from the crunchiness of the dehydrated form. Put some in your coffee grinder (I have one that is used exclusively for herb and spice grinding) for a powdery version. If you have a large pepper mill you can put it in there and grind a nice veggie seasoning on anything as you would with pepper! There are many uses for this product and I am enjoying getting creative with it.
I recommend this vegetable "soup" mix. I wish they would rename it Vegetable "EVERYTHING" Mix.
