Ingredients:
Stir up a batch of homemade soup
mix to have on hand or to package in jars as kitchen gifts. 2
1/2 c. washed lentils
2 1/2 c. washed green split peas
2 1/2 c. pearl barley
2 c. alphabet macaroni
1 c. dried onion flakes
1/2 c. celery flakes
1/2 c. parsley flakes
Direction:
Mix all ingredients together and
store in a jar with tight fitting lid. Stir well before using.
To Cook: Combine 1 cup of mix
with 4 cups water or seasoned stock in a soup pot. Add 1 cup
cooked, chopped meats, if desired. Bring to boil. Reduce heat
to low and cover. Simmer gently for 45 minutes or until peas
are tender. (Cooking time may need to be extended at high
altitude or in hard-water areas.) Add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt,
if desired. VARIATIONS: To create Minestrone Palous Soup,
combine 1 cup mix with 16 ounce can of stewed tomatoes, 2 or 3
cups water. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 or 2 chopped potatoes and
1/2 teaspoon basil. Bring to boil and cook as directed above.
The vast fertile Idaho-Washington border country commonly
known as the Palouse produces almost all of the lentils grown
in the United States.
