Serves/Makes:16 servings

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) dry split peas
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) beef bouillon granules
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pearl barley
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) dry lentils
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) dried onion flakes
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) uncooked alphabet pasta (wrap in plastic wrap)
Preparation
  • In a 3-cup jar, layer the ingredients in the order given, placing the pasta wrapped in plastic wrap on top.
  • Seal tightly.
  • Attach a label to the jar with the following instructions:
  • ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 lb (.5 kg). ground beef
  • 28 oz (784 grm). can diced tomatoes (don't drain)
  • 6 oz (168 grm). can tomato paste
  • 3 quarts (2850 ml) water
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • TO PREPARE SOUP:
  • Remove pasta from jar.
  • In large pot, over medium heat, brown ground beef.
  • Add rest of ingredients, except pasta, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes.
  • Stir in the pasta; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta, peas, lentils, and barley are tender.
Comments
I like to cut out circles of seasonal fabric with pinking shears; place over the top of the jar and secure with a rubber band. Then put the instructions on an index card, with the entire list of ingredients on the back; laminate the card (if desired), then use a hole punch to punch a hole in one corner and tie to jar using raffia, ribbon, etc. Quart jars can be used, since the 3-cup jars can be difficult to find.
