Augason Farms Cheesy Broccoli Soup Mix 3 lbs 5 oz No. 10 Can

Tastes nice. Helped settle my aching belly. For me this is comfort food. Makes a quick easy snack with just hot water. Sometimes I’ll add some fish or dehydrated corn. 10 minutes in an instant pot. It’s so simple.

Perfect for not getting tired of beans and rice in a SHTF situation!!! I don't ever want to be the father that my kids look at me and say "Dad, why weren't you prepared for US, what are we going to do for food to survive". As much money as we throw away in life come on. This is an insurance policy. You hope to not need it, but you better have plenty put up just in case!!!!!

I made 7 cups water, 2 cups soup mix, 1/4 cup dehydrated carrots, and 1/4 cup dehydrated celery. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. It was perfectly done and tender and tasted great

I buy Augason products when they are on sale. Been doing this on and off for a few years now. Always been a bit of a "prepper", since I was a toddler it seems, haha (In my 40s now). I has served me well through power outages, sicknesses, unemployment, and even bigger stuff like the pandemic, and now... *vaguely gestures around* everything else that is going on. I've never been one to be without when anything has come up. I never did "emergency food" if only because I didnt have the budget. I would stick with typical foods and try to store them well. Well now I have a little more wiggle room in my budget, and with the on and off sales of long term storage (20+ years), I take advantage when I can. I remember buying some Augason eggs back in 2019 for $19. Today? $33-56 for same container, depending on the day.And so, I haven't opened this 54 ounce container of cheesy broccoli soup.. sorry. I dont intend to any time soon. But I wanted to shore up my options. Having some soups and such just adds flavor to other options used. I can add more veg, or a protein, or beans, or simply have some bread to dip into it. Or I can use as way to flavor something. I have a slew of reviews to write on various Augason products, and so they will all be pretty much the same: Super long term storage (25+ years), no matter what the weight, it will be stuffed into a #10 can (that reads, "number ten", not ten pound. I see that mistake in reviews). They keep sizes uniform. Next size up is a round bucket, next size up gets into the rectangular buckets. This is for storage that can be uniform, etc. So yes, you may buy a 7 ounce item that is volume wise that takes up a smidge of space, but it will be packed into a large #10 container. Just remember, all food products are sold based on weight, not volume anyway. All of my containers have been in perfect condition. Maybe one day soon I will try one container out and see how the product actually is.Everyone's SHTF scenario varies. It could be bad weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms), could be illness, could be road trip gone wrong (you do keep supplies in your car too, right?!), could be unemployment, or power outage, or lack of transportation, or oven/fridge/other appliance break down, or bigger stuff like plagues, food shortages, supply chain issues, *cough WW3 cough*, etc. No matter the situation we all need some things to get by: we need is food, water, shelter, some hygeine and medical stuff, and so on. You dont have to stack "emergency supplies" but you do need to stack shelf stable food items. Buy a few extra things every single time you go to the store. If you get to a spot that you feel comfortable and have the budget, then grab the "emergency" items like Augason offers. I like adding it in and just forgetting about it.I give 5 stars because the cans always are in perfect condition, they have regular sales, are good about shipping items as soon as they can, have lots of items to choose from, and so far seem to be of good quality.
