Is this a soup?
No, it really is a stew. By definition, a stew contains ingredients "stewed" in just enough liquid to be simmered for a period of time. It tends to be heartier than a soup. Whereas soup is primarily liquid, such as stock, combined with other ingredients such as vegetables or meat.
No meat... why so much protein?
Beans are protein-packed powerhouses. This is why each serving of our Kale and White Bean Stew contains 16g of protein, or 32g for an entire double serving. Not only that, but when you add potatoes and beans together, they form what is known as a complete protein, allowing a vegan dish to have the essential amino acids found in animal protein.

X OPEN. STIR AGAIN. EAT. SMILE.

A stew that is sure to warm the body and soul. Kale, white beans, fennel, olive oil, garlic and rosemary come together to create a delicious calorie-dense, vegan option for the backcountry.

We just got back from a week of camping and hiking and these meals are the best! Easy to prep, minimal waste, great nutrition, and excellent flavor. The 2 person size is definitely our favorite and we have yet to find a variety that we don't like. This stew in particular is like the ultimate comfort food for a chilly night on the trail.
This is a nice meal to have backpacking
Please bring back the 2 serving meals
I will be using other manufactures of backpacking food until you bring Back 2 servings per package
This one makes a hearty and flavorful stew that is great with a hunk of warm buttered bread. I would give it 5 stars but there are a few pieces of hard stem that I have to pick out. Otherwise, it is a great winter stew that is easily extended with sausage or chicken for bigger meals.
I tried this again recently, hoping the issue of the tough/hard bits of kale and herb stems might have been solved, but, sadly, no. Still an inedible hard, tough bit in almost every spoonful that kinda ruins an otherwise good meal. Too bad, as there are relatively few vegan options for those of us who don't eat meat or dairy.
Love that this is an easy way to eat healthy on the trail. Wish this kind also came in a one serving pouch as well
