MRE Soup

Kevlar Cookin'

The designers of MREs may think they're meals-ready-to-eat, but Marines knows better. In the field Marines mix and match ingredients from the various MREs for dishes with some surprisingly tasty results. The recipe for this concoction was submitted to www.marines.mil.

Red-Patcher Pudding

Ingredients:

1. 1 - Cocoa Beverage Powder
2. 1 - Chocolate Chip Cookie or Fudge Brownie
3. 2 - 3 Creamers
4. 1 - Dairy Shake powder
5. 1 - Red Charm from "Charms" Candy
6. Water

Directions:

Mix shake powder, cocoa powder and creamers in a canteen cup. Stir. Throw in brownie or cookie chunks and top off with a red charm in honor of the hard-chargin' red-patchers. Note – the more creamer you put in the mix, the better pudding you get. Makes a delicious Betty Crocker-esque creation wherever you are in the world!
