Love Soup Mix In A Jar

Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup green split peas
– 1/2 cup yellow split peas
– 1/2 cup barley
– 1/2 cup lentils
– 1/2 cup alphabet pasta or small pasta of your choice
– 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
– 1 tablespoon dried parsley
– 1 tablespoon dried celery flakes
– 1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano)
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 vegetable bouillon cube
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Start by layering the ingredients in a clean, dry quart-sized mason jar in the following order: green split peas, yellow split peas, barley, lentils, alphabet pasta, dried minced onion, dried parsley, dried celery flakes, dried mixed herbs, garlic powder, vegetable bouillon cube, and finally, salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to pack down each layer as you go to fit all the ingredients.

2. Once all the ingredients are layered, seal the jar tightly with a lid and decorate it with a label or ribbon to make it extra special.

3. To prepare the soup, simply empty the contents of the jar into a soup pot and add 10 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 45-60 minutes or until the peas and lentils are tender.

4. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add more water if necessary to reach your desired soup consistency. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

5. Serve your Love Soup hot with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a wholesome and satisfying meal that will warm both the body and soul.
