Introducing our newest backpacking meal just in time for Autumn: No Coop Noodle Soup. Inspired by the classic chicken noodle soup, our version utilizes plant-based proteins, such as chickpeas and yellow peas, along with a variety of vegetables, including freeze-dried organic sweet potatoes, carrots, and herbs, in a savory broth. The fiber-rich carbohydrates and heart-healthy olive oil provide warmth and nourishment, making it perfect on cold days. Not only is this soup delicious, but it is also comforting!
Like all of Outdoor Herbivore’s backpacking meals, preparing the No Coop Noodle Soup is quick and simple. Boil water, then add the hot water to the pouch (or transfer the soup mix to a serving bowl), and stir. Let it soak for 8 minutes.
✅ Savory
✅ Vegan
✅ Gluten Free

Our plant-based chick’n soup tastes similar to the classic chicken noodle soup you may have grown up eating, minus the animal products.

Replenishing lost calories and electrolytes after a day of intense hiking is essential for maintaining optimal health. Due to the higher sodium content in this particular soup, we do not recommend this meal if you need to limit your salt intake.
