[Introduction]

Propolis comes from the substance like natural resin, which is collected by the bees from exudates of plants branches and bud the chemical substances of Propolis are found to be various, such as beeswax, resin, incense lipids, aromatic oil, fat-soluble oils, pollen and other organic matter. Studies have shown that the source of propolis resin in material has three types: bees collected plants secreted fluid, secretion in vivo metabolism of bee, and involvement in the process of forming the material.

Greetings! Let me begin by saying that I was not asked to provide a review for this product, I have not been compensated to endorse this product nor have I received any other favors in return for using this product. I have undertaken this review of my own free will and volition and the results and opinions are my own and those of my family.

Alright, all that mumbo jumbo out of the way. We are going to review the Bear Creek soups, starting with the broccoli and cheese version. I have been asked by many of you if I had every tried this brand of dry soup mixes and I had not until now. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that at my grocery store they offered many varieties aside from the broccoli and cheese including, Minestrone, Wild Rice, Creamy Potato, Chili, Vegetable Beef and Barley and Chicken Noodle as well as Tortilla, so we will be making our way through these varieties one by one and we will tell you how we like them.

Right off the bat the packaging is a concern, the bag is certainly not designed for long term food storage, but from a short term perspective I think it is fine. The soup has an approximate shelf life of 2 years. I think that could be extended if you were to vacuum seal the soup in a food saver bag or even a mason jar. In comparison to the Augason Farms soups, they have a 10 year shelf life and are packaged in a sealed can with an oxygen absorber. I think these soups would be good to have on the shelf for short term purposes.

Preparation is almost identical, with instructions to boil 8 cups of water and whisk in the mix. However the cooking times do differ, with the Bear Creek only needing 10 minutes to simmer, the Auguson Farms needs 20 minutes to fully cook. I think this may be due to the fact that the Auguson Farms is highly dehydrated.

In the end this is how we felt. While Micah and I initially felt that the soup was good tasting, after eating a meal of it, the soup was a bit thick, I felt that it had a bit of a back taste and the dehydrated broccoli did not fully rehydrate. The broccoli was a bit chewy and tasted overcooked, which is not a surprise. We did add additional frozen broccoli to the soup, however the dried broccoli still stood out, not in a good way.

Overall, I did not like the soup, my girls and Rick thought it was O.K. I may or may not make it again. I will be trying the Tortilla Soup variety soon, and we will see if it is just this particular variety of their soup.

Stay tuned for more review. Hope that helps all of those people who clamored for me to review this brand of shelf stable soup mix.

Happy Eating!
