This soup is an easy last minute recipe - everything you need can be found at most grocery stores. Find the tomatoes hidden in the produce department (look up high), apples with the dried fruit and onions in the spice section. It can also be made vegetarian by leaving out the chicken and using vegetable broth, just double the tomatoes and apples!

At home:
Pack the dry items into a sandwich bag, tuck with the chicken.
In camp:
Add the dry ingredients, chicken (with any broth) and 4 cups water to a large pot (2 Liter works well) and bring to a full boil. Take off the heat, cover tightly and let sit for 10 minutes. In cooler weather or at high altitude wrap your pot in a pot cozy.

We saved this one for a cold
We saved this one for a cold rainy night on the trail. I was expecting a soup but it came out more like a stew. I wasn't so fond of the tangy tomatoes with the sweet apples, but it overall it was good and offers variety when you're craving a bit more flavor than the usual trail food.
