Survivalist soup

Take a portion of premade frozen minestrone soup out of the freezer.
Add frozen minestrone to pot and heat.
Open bottle of wine.
Eat soup. Drink wine. Contemplate the fall of civilisation.

Not entirely sure what all I put in the soup when I made it, looks like mushroom, carrot, black eyed peas, peppers, tomato and precious pasta. Probably some onions and garlic and some form of stock too. I mean it's soup. You put everything in a pot and boil it until it's palatable then use it as a bread dip.

Viva Italia! They may have no idea of medical planning, but their soups are meaningful components of a meal.

You have bread  :o

How! Where!

Managed to nab a bag of bagels and some pitta while the hordes were distracted by the sliced white... At this rate though I'm going to have to start making my own bread again.

If you can get flour you'll be doing well, if my local Tesco is anything to go by!

You make bread with flour ?  :o

I thought it was made from a type of seaweed. :-\

(Never actually tried laverbread (?)......anyone ever tasted that ?)

But as Mike says, I'd imagine flour's one of the things that the hoarders have been stockpiling.

When we cleaned out the MIL's kitchen, after she'd gone into residential care.....There was a full bag of flour in one of the cupboards that appeared to have fossilised.
I kid you not.....It felt like a piece of breeze block ! :o :o

True, even Amazon is short on bread flour. I have half a bag of plain flour as a bag of masa harina  in the cupboard so it's cakes and corn tacos for a while!

Nearly all flour/rice contains Weevils eggs.  So if they keep it for two long their cupboards will be full of weevils.   :D

I've had laverbread. It was pretty good, too.
