Heating a soup should not be too difficult: microwave the soup for about 2 minutes on high, stir, and reheat if needed. If my technology challenge was no microwave or electricity based cooking technology, then I could just use the stove. The reheat time changes from about 2 minutes to about 10 minutes after the soup starts boiling. The result is evenly heated soup that just took longer. But, I didn't decide to take the "easy" route. My technology challenge eliminates both gas and electric powered cooking appliances.
Good thing I have a charcoal grill, but heating soup this way takes a long time. First, you have to set up the grill, which includes setting up the charcoal brickettes, lighting them, and letting them sit until the coals are smoldering and giving a even and consistent amount of heat. Well, admittedly, I am impatient. I started heating the soup before the coals were smoldering. It took roughly 45 minutes from set up until food was ready. Luckily, I had a few crackers on hand to munch on while I waited.t
