Austintacious Tortilla Soup

Austintacious Tortilla Soup

chipotle chicken, cilantro rice, black beans & corn with tortilla bits, jack cheese & cholula hot sauce

Tortilla Soup is the TexMex equivalent of comfort food — good for whatever ails you!

Our award-winning Austintacious version features diced tender chicken breast (cage-free), whole black beans, roasted corn, red ripe tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, and cilantro!  

Traditional toppings are included: bits of corn tortillas (made locally in an authentic Austin Tortilleria) and real freeze-dried Monterrey-Jack cheese.

UPDATE for long-time buyers of our Austintacious Tortilla Soup - the addition of Cholula Hot Sauce has become optional! Add Cholula for free if you want it or opt out of the extra weight and trash if you don't -- the choice is all yours!

Put this meal on the menu for any trip: It’s easy-prep trail food that will wow every palate... 
The tastiest trail soup we've ever eaten.

Sure, everything tastes better in camp. So we tried this dehydrated meal at home too, just to confirm our field findings. It is delicious. The soup is the perfect appetizer for hungry troops, a satisfying belly warmer in cold weather and substantial enough to pass for dinner when only a light meal is needed. Plus, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Ingredients are simple: chicken breast, red peppers, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, spices and rice. But the result is gourmet. “It tastes like it’s been simmering in the kitchen all day,” summed up one satisfied tester. Serving size is legit for two hungry guys, and it comes with toppings that make it easy to customize according to taste: freeze-dried Monterrey Jack, tortilla chips, Tabasco sauce and lime juice.

frequently asked questions

What is Gluten Conscious?
 
Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
 

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

    I never write reviews, however, I am now after trying many of the P.G. meals. The Austintacious Tortilla Soup is GREAT! I don't think I ever had Tortilla soup prior to trying this one, but have a hard time believing there's a better one out there. You will not be disappointed!

    This was my favorite dish. This one I cooked using the optional Cook-in-Bag method by simply boiling water with my alcohol stove. I decided to have it for lunch because the day was overcast and a bit chilly. Soup just sounded good and warming. Preparation: I really like these types of dishes where all I have to do is boil water, pour it in and let it sit. I brought my insulated coozy that I slid the Cook-in-Bag inside while it rehydrated. It really helped hold in the heat. I let it sit for an additional 5 minutes and the beans were perfect. Taste: Very flavorful, spicy southwestern soup and the chips, cheese and sprinkle of lime just made it marvelous. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

    4+ Stars Three of us rated this (two 5's and one 4) VERY highly. Added all of the condiments, but with only half of the lime packet and it was magnificent. I'm not usually a soup guy when backpacking, but my goodness this was tasty. As with all backpacking food, allow it to rehydrate for a minimum of 20 minutes (longer if you can stand it) in a cozy so it stays HOT and it'll turn out just right.

    Tasty, filling, easy. This is a hardy soup not a thin broth so it is a true meal. Every trip my son asks for this on specifically so I know he likes it. I love the zing of the lime and the heat of the hot sauce it is much more than salt of many soups.

    Stove used: MSR Simmerlite I am not a soup person during the summer. It is just too hot on most evenings to enjoy a soup and during lunch time it is just too blazing hot to think about it. I finally broke down and gave this meal a try on an evening in the Sam Houston National Forest. I cooked up the soup in my small pot, poured some into my cup and sat back and watched the sun set. Give me a cold afternoon and this would have been the perfect lunch or a great appetizer on a cold night before dinner. I just wanted to do a little dance after adding the lime juice/flavor packet to the soup. This meal was a perfect example of how Packit Gourmet handles their meals. They take something comfortable and easy to prepare and add just enough zing to make it a step above any other trail meals that I have used. While I would not claim that this was a meal by itself, at least at dinner time, it would make a great breakfast or lunch on a cold day. A great vista to enjoy while sipping would just be an added extra. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

      I never write reviews, however, I am now after trying many of the P.G. meals. The Austintacious Tortilla Soup is GREAT! I don't think I ever had Tortilla soup prior to trying this one, but have a hard time believing there's a better one out there. You will not be disappointed!

      This was my favorite dish. This one I cooked using the optional Cook-in-Bag method by simply boiling water with my alcohol stove. I decided to have it for lunch because the day was overcast and a bit chilly. Soup just sounded good and warming. Preparation: I really like these types of dishes where all I have to do is boil water, pour it in and let it sit. I brought my insulated coozy that I slid the Cook-in-Bag inside while it rehydrated. It really helped hold in the heat. I let it sit for an additional 5 minutes and the beans were perfect. Taste: Very flavorful, spicy southwestern soup and the chips, cheese and sprinkle of lime just made it marvelous. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

      4+ Stars Three of us rated this (two 5's and one 4) VERY highly. Added all of the condiments, but with only half of the lime packet and it was magnificent. I'm not usually a soup guy when backpacking, but my goodness this was tasty. As with all backpacking food, allow it to rehydrate for a minimum of 20 minutes (longer if you can stand it) in a cozy so it stays HOT and it'll turn out just right.

      Tasty, filling, easy. This is a hardy soup not a thin broth so it is a true meal. Every trip my son asks for this on specifically so I know he likes it. I love the zing of the lime and the heat of the hot sauce it is much more than salt of many soups.

      Stove used: MSR Simmerlite I am not a soup person during the summer. It is just too hot on most evenings to enjoy a soup and during lunch time it is just too blazing hot to think about it. I finally broke down and gave this meal a try on an evening in the Sam Houston National Forest. I cooked up the soup in my small pot, poured some into my cup and sat back and watched the sun set. Give me a cold afternoon and this would have been the perfect lunch or a great appetizer on a cold night before dinner. I just wanted to do a little dance after adding the lime juice/flavor packet to the soup. This meal was a perfect example of how Packit Gourmet handles their meals. They take something comfortable and easy to prepare and add just enough zing to make it a step above any other trail meals that I have used. While I would not claim that this was a meal by itself, at least at dinner time, it would make a great breakfast or lunch on a cold day. A great vista to enjoy while sipping would just be an added extra. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

    Put this meal on the menu for any trip: It’s easy-prep trail food that will wow every palate... 
    The tastiest trail soup we've ever eaten.

    Sure, everything tastes better in camp. So we tried this dehydrated meal at home too, just to confirm our field findings. It is delicious. The soup is the perfect appetizer for hungry troops, a satisfying belly warmer in cold weather and substantial enough to pass for dinner when only a light meal is needed. Plus, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. Ingredients are simple: chicken breast, red peppers, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, spices and rice. But the result is gourmet. “It tastes like it’s been simmering in the kitchen all day,” summed up one satisfied tester. Serving size is legit for two hungry guys, and it comes with toppings that make it easy to customize according to taste: freeze-dried Monterrey Jack, tortilla chips, Tabasco sauce and lime juice.

    frequently asked questions

    What is Gluten Conscious?
     
    Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
    Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
     

    We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.
