Cream of Mushroom Soup

Another recipe I can use goat milk in!  It's simple enough it didn't take too long to put together. 

This is the first time I had something hot to go in the freeze dryer. You need to let it cool to room temperature before going in or it can wreck the machine. 

I experimented with the trays going in: one had no liner, one had a liner and dividers, one was dividers and no liner, and one had dividers only half full. 

They turned out great! Definitely don't need the liners. 

I broke them apart and stuck them in jars. I meant to come up with the amount of water needed to reconstitute the soup, but I forgot to weigh the soup afterwards, so we'll wing it. Add water til it looks good I suppose. 

What did I do with the half empty tray? Filled it with avocados! 

 I reconstituted one right away and you couldn't tell the difference between a fresh one and the freeze dried one. The clear bag they're in used to hold oxygen absorbers. I've found they're quite good at keeping moisture out!
