1/2 c. Dry Split Peas
1/3 c. Beef Bouillon -- low sodium
1/4 c. Pearl Barley
1/2 c. Dry Lentils
1/4 c. Dried Minced Onion
2 T. Italian Seasoning
1/2 c. Uncooked Long Grain Rice -- brown
1/2 c. Alphabet Macaroni
Additional Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
3 qt. water
1 28-oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
In a l-1/2-pint or 1 quart jar, layer the first eight ingredients in the order listed. Seal tightly. (If ingredients do not come right up to the top of the jar, you can place a crumpled piece of plastic wrap on top of the last layer to keep layers from shifting, or place macaroni inside a baggie & place on top of other ingredients.)
Yield: 1 batch. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
To give as a gift, decorate jar as desired and attach the following directions:
To prepare soup, carefully remove macaroni from top of jar and set aside. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, brown beef and drain. Add water, tomatoes and soup mix, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 45 minutes. Add the reserved macaroni and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until macaroni, peas, lentils and barley are tender.
