More good suggestions, will have to try some out.

Out of the brands we have tried, I found the Mountain House somewhat preferable. We have used the beef/ chicken stew, chicken ala king and beef stroganoff. The stews were a little on bland side, might want to add some flavor. We added instant potatoes, could be added as side dish or mixed into stew. Have been trying to use less of these lately however.

The cache lake bread in onion and french was pretty good, and we had that a lot with soup or chilli mac. The bear creek soup was good as well I thought. Maybe add a little extra time to help rehydrate.
