OMG don't yell @ me but...

My friend just turned me onto Bear Creek Soups and i am sooo hooked. they come in a pouch and you mix with Water - they are so incredibly good - i've tried the potatoe and cheese, Tomato, hot and sour (beyond to die for) and a few others. i can't believe how good they are - the pouches make a lot (around 8 cups) but im sure you could cut them down. yeah, no trader joes in my neck of the woods (utah) either but i bet you could get the bear creek in regular grocery store.
