Chicken soup(mainly from cans): take 500grams of frozen chopped breast meat(freeze before you go camping and it will generally still be cold on day three if kept in an esky) put in large billy, tip in 1 litre of campbells tetra packed chicken stock and one 440 gram can of creamed corn- stir and bring to boil, simmer for twenty five minutes.
Chicken soup is a good entree to the main course:
Scrubbed spuds in jackets in the coals for about an hour then buttered(don't get them too hot- experiment) eaten with tinned peas(take lid half way around and sit near in coals to warm eaten with a tinned Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie cooked in the camp oven(ususlly takes about 15 minutes longer than at home).
Once you take out the steak and kidney pie put a self saucing pudding in the camp oven(we carry a medium saucepan without a handle) just for this purpose, serve with tetra packed thickened cream.
I also make a mean tuna mornay consisting of a large tin of tuna, a tetra pack of cream, 500 grams of spiral pasta, packet of french onion soup and two teaspoons of curry powder( combine all in the dutch oven and just let it cook stirring once in 45 minutes, don't let the mix set in the oven boil rinse and oil).
If it is just me it is beans and sausages for most meals.
