Nope, can't see it.  A soup as simple to make as pouring a packet of
ingredients into a pot of boiling water.  I was going to suggest meat,
pre-cooked and frozen in plasticware. Take to site. Put in pot over fire,
begin to thaw and add veges.  It would still take someone to watch over the
pot, although it wouldn't take all day. My cooking pride won't let me fix
something like dehydrated soup at an event. I can picture myself at the
list field with my two-burner propane stove and huge pot stirring soup that
smells good enough to pull fighters off the field...
