Recipe




The gift card should read:

TO PREPARE SOUP: Remove macaroni from top of jar and set aside. In a large pot over medium heat, brown 1 lb. of ground beef with pepper and garlic to taste; drain any excess fat. Add 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste, 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes (undrained), water, and soup mix.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the reserved macaroni, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes more or until the macaroni, peas, lentils and barley are tender.
