Easiest Way to Make Portable Soup

Рет қаралды 4,434,714

9 жыл бұрын

Portable soup is a meat broth that is condensed to solid form. It was a very common ration/survival food in the 18th century, and it can be used as a wonderful flavor enhancer in any modern dish. Making portable soup, however, takes a long time, and if you don't watch it closely, it is easily ruined. In this video, we show you a easy, nearly fail-safe way to make it at home so that you can take it to your next historical event or have it on hand the next time you need broth or wish to boost the flavor of your favorite dish or soup.

Beef shanks are high up among the most flavorful cuts on the entire animal. If you've not had it, try making a barley-beef or other grain / vegetable beef soup with them. Cooking times will be long, so it's a good option for pressure cooking to at least get the bulk of the tenderizing done. Otherwise a long simmer in the crockpot is the thing. If you live near a Vietnamese grocery, pick up a package each of beef shanks and flank, along with some carrots and the spice mixture for bo kho. Bo kho is a French-Vietnamese stew that's simply amazing.

Replace the jerky with pemmican.......break your pemmican up and throw it in a pan. Cook until the pan is nice and greasy. Pound your hardtack into small bits. Add it to your pan and mix until it's covered in the pemmican fat. Cook a little longer but do not burn. Add a little water at a time constantly sturing until you get a loose gravy. If needed add a little of your portable stew for flavored as well as what other berries and veggies you can procure. Cook until veggies are tender and enjoy.

Our forefathers and mothers were so ingenious in finding ways to preserve food for as long as possible. Imagine being the first person to figure this out, you'd feel like a god. You effectively turned a whole bunch of your stock into a lightweight yet dense packet without much loss. It's stuff like this that enabled us to roam so far and wide and eventually settle on the entire world. We live in an age now where few or none of these incredible ideas have to be used by ourselves anymore, and without channels like this much would be lost on us. Thank you.

I'm really interested in the shelf life of this. Since fat is what can go rancid, and that is removed, then dried, I bet this has incredible shelf life if stored in a cool dry place. If it continues to dry out and harden with time I wouldn't store it in any kind of air tight container

@phasepanther4423 7 ай бұрын

Fat generally doesn't unless there's still moisture. If you want food to last, kill the mould and bacteria etc, or take it out of the temperature range it acts in, or dehydrate it to prevent their growth. Things don't go rancid on their own. If you treat meat and keep it away from any contaminant it will never truly go bad. Though the flavour will probably change vastly.

This is great! I‘ve been wondering for a long time if there was a way to make something akin to instant broth at home from the chicken broth or beef broth I freshly cook. As I‘m allergic to many foods and most instant broths contain at least one of those ingredients (and those that don’t aren’t always great tasting) it is very difficult to have a quick and convenient way of making soup. Plus I don’t have a lot of space in the small freezing compartment of the fridge to store large amounts of soup that I could just defrost whenever I need it. This portable soup may well be the answer to my problem. Thank you for bringing this old method to my attention! ❤

I have made Portable Soup just like this and I agree, don't ever season it! The process of cooking down that much broth can throw off the flavors so it works better with a plain broth. I also know one easy way to dry it out once it's gelatinous. Lay it on some cloth, or filter paper, and put it on a box fan that is blowing downwards and drawing air past/around the whole mess. It's a bit like a dehydrator without the heat.

@KryssLaBryn 7 жыл бұрын

It would probably end up something like marmite or vegemite once it had been reduced. Perhaps do something like a barbecue sauce? I use the same cuts of meat in a similar way, simmering them slowly in a homemade barbecue sauce. A richly flavourful sauce like that with the relatively-finely minced meat ought to not end up bland in the centre; simmer it in the sauce once it's been removed as in here for at least an hour and the flavour ought to penetrate it. I am going to have to try this for camping! When I bring cold roasts along I add the gelatin from it as well; I didn't know it could be reduced!
