I do not find many of these freeze dried meals palatable, but I like this soup. I split each package into to separate meals and eat with saltines. It's my breakfast and dinner for short hikes. Plenty of sodium to replace what you sweated out during your hike.

I will never by another DAKINE product again. I ordered DAKINE products and both had manufacturing defects. The hat I purchase was not bound at the top, so it had a big hole in the top. Not to mention that if you want to keep warm, this hat ain't going to do it even if it was constructed properly. Cheap wool, woven loosely, made this hat real airy. NEVER EVER BUY A DAKINE PRODUCT, EVER!! The Heli-Pro backpack I purchased also had a sewing flaw. Another gaping HOLE that my Leatherman fell out of. DAKINE did not respond to my emails asking for a postage refund to return their products.

Hate to say it, but I'll never by another DAKINE product again. The Heli Pro backpack that I bought had a manufacturing defect where the zipper was not fully sewn into the out pocket shell. Fortunately my leatherman tool pointed out this flaw as it was about to fall out of the HOLE between the zipper/shell seams. Thank goodness I was packing for my ski trip. I tried to contact DAKINE to as them for a refund for the return postage expense. I never heard back from them. The same order had a defective DAKINE waffle beanie. Evidently poor workmanship is DAKINE's trademark. The top of the hat was not bound properly so it too had a gaping HOLE. THANK GOODNESS for this site. They refunded the total cost for both DEFECTIVE DAKINE products and the return postage expense I incurred.
