To Rehydrate
Concentrated- For every 1 ounce of FDd* soup use 2 ounces of boiling water.
Tip- I brown some rehydrated porkchops and pour this over them for the gravy and simmer. Serve over some FDd mashed potatoes. So good.
Soup- For every 1 ounce of FDd soup use 4 ounces of boiling water
Stir well, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Check occasionally to stir and if needed add more water.
