Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix Helps Recession Proof Your Food Budget: Product Review and Recipe

The other day I bought a four pack container of Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix. Within minutes of opening the container, a box which held four individual packages of Vegi Soup mix (vegetable soup mix), I was ready to start making soup. I tend to be a very skeptical person when it comes to pre-packaged soup mixes, finding them full of salt and terrible flavors. I generally make homemade vegetable soup but I'm trying to build up my pantry staples so that we have emergency food supplies on hand.

Since food prices have also soared, I'm hoping that we can save time, money and gas by having foods on hand. This product is going to be a regular part of our food supplies. Everyone loved it!

I was pleasantly surprised to discover Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup. I have very little free time so it was nice to put a pot of this soup on the stove, let it simmer for about an hour, go about my usual daily schedule and have dinner ready and waiting for my hungry family

Here are the details about this product - along with my recipe and variations:

Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix - Appearance and Price

Although I later discovered that I could have bought this at my local grocery store, I did buy mine at Amazon at www.amazon.com
You'll have to put the title of the product in the search form to find it. The price? Right now, it is $16.88 for a box containing four 28 ounce (1 lb, 12 ounces) packages of soup mix. That comes out to $4.22 a package which is an amazing bargain for a product which is ready to prepare, no extra ingredients necessary.

There was no extra cost for shipping either. All in all, a good value and even less than what it cost at my local grocery store! I'd consider this a recession proof price and an excellent product to have on hand for tough times like a recession or (gulp) Depression.

Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix - Ease of Preparation

I will get to the ingredients and nutritional information shortly. However, I did want to stress the ease of preparation first. To make this, the package instructions direct cooks to simply add one part Bob's Vegi Soup Mix to four parts water. I mistakenly assumed that I had to add four cups of water to the entire package of soup mix. Wrong!
