Also look at bulk soup mixes you can use one serving at a time. A bag of many-bean soup mix and a jug of dehydrated vegetables can be used similarly. Perfect for those days when you Just Can't Even.

[starfleetbrat]

thank you! I often cook for one, and sometimes its nice to just buy enough of something for cook one meal for one person instead of cooking for four and freezing the extra serves.

You're welcome!

I'm happy I could help.

The content notes for "To Feel Safe and Warm" include a soup algorithm with attention to per-person serving sizes of ingredients. You could use that to make soup for one person.

Also look at bulk soup mixes you can use one serving at a time. A bag of many-bean soup mix and a jug of dehydrated vegetables can be used similarly.
