"Foraged" Miso Mushroom Soup

Ingredients

• 2x GF Instant Miso packets with tofu and wakame

• Dried Kale snack OR foraged Stinging Nettle

• Costco Gourmet dried mushrooms OR foraged mushrooms (chicken of the woods or lions mane)

• Optional rice noodles

• Optional salami

Cooking instructions:

You can use the fat in pork sausage, or if you carry a little olive oil to lightly fry foraged finds (mushrooms- make sure you are 100% sure what you have found). Or, just boil a nearly full pot of water and throw it all in! Add the miso packets, dried mushrooms, kale, and follow noodle packet instructions if you are using them.

Specific Recommended Ingredients and where to find them:

Rice and Millet Noodles (These tasty ones are available at most fancy grocery stores for ~$8 for 4 cakes, like Whole Foods & PCC. Any thin rice noodle in the Asian section at a grocery store will also work but have less calories.)

Salami (Cheapest at Trader Joes but I have seen this same one at Whole Foods and World Market)

Dried Kale (You can find dried kale snacks in most grocery stores these days)

My stove and pot: (Soto Amicus with cookset- it juuuust fits the noodle packets, was the cheapest option at $50 when I started backpacking and has proved reliable and easy to use!)
