Tinned Soup and Noodles is a quick and simple camping meal. This camping recipe requires just one burner and one saucepan.
Ingredients For Tinned Soup And Noodles Camping Recipe
1. A tin of chunky style soup. The soup needs to be the type that contains large chunks of meat and vegetables. It needs to have enough substance that it could also be called a tinned stew. The appetite of the people in the party and the amount of physical exercise each has done, will determine the number of tins required. Usually one tin (450 grams) per person is a rough guide.
2. A packet of shelf-fresh noodles. These are the type that don’t need refrigeration and are usually found in the general pasta section of a supermarket. They are pre-cooked noodles and are vacuum sealed (Cryovac). Once opened they must either be consumed or stored in a refrigerator.
Cooking Tinned Soup And Noodles On One Burner
This is a very simple camping meal.
First off, empty the contents of the tin into the saucepan. Then add the noodles. Stir it all around on the heat until it is hot enough to eat. Simple!
Depending on the type of soup, this meal has everything needed when out camping. The soup provides the vegetables and protein, while the noodles provide the carbohydrates.
Enhancements To Tinned Soup And Noodles Camping Recipe
Other bits and pieces can be added to this camping recipe, if wanted. Maybe a tin of peas, or some diced carrots. Or even some spices like chili powder.
Rice could be substituted for the noodles, but this takes a bit longer and is a bit fiddly. Especially if wanting to use just the one burner.
This camping meal is quick and doesn’t require much to be carried, so is perfect when travelling by car, 4wd or RV.
Tinned Soup And Noodles Camping Recipe As A Backpacking Meal
This camping recipe is also a good one night backpacking camping meal.
There is a backpacking rule that carrying tins is a “no no”, as they contain water that needs to be carried; and the empty tin needs to be carried out. However, if doing a hike requiring a one-night stop, this camping recipe is good as it is so quick, doesn’t require refrigeration and provides the necessary body fuel for a hike.
Carrying the tin is not such a big deal for a one-night hike, and walking the empty out again also doesn’t present too much of a burden. However, if hiking for more than one night, then this is not a good meal.
Other Single Burner Camping Recipes
Ravioli And Tomatoes, also makes another great one night backpacking camping meal.
Another simple camping meal, when travelling by car or RV or 4WD and using just a single burner, is Chicken With Couscous.
