David, you know human nature.  1. They have established ways that work for
them. They're not going to be receptive to change to start with.  2. I am
unaware of any soup recipe, period or not, that won't be more work to
prepare than opening an envelope and pouring it into boiling water. 3.
Someone's suggestion of freezing in advance has already been rejected as
being too bulky/messy.
IMHO, unless there is someone with pride in their camp cooking ability, who
desires to prepare more period offerings wanting to do the job, nothing
suggested on our part will be seriously considered.
