    Recipe



    Here's the low-sodium answer to how to have a quick cup of soup. Keep this
    mixture on hand at work for a quick lunch, take it on a camping trip--in
    fact, you can use it wherever boiling water is available.

    Combine all ingredients for chicken or beef soup mix in a small, airtight
    plastic bag or covered plastic container.

    To prepare soup, pour 1 cup boiling water over dry mixture and stir. Let
    stand for 1 to 2 minutes, or until rice is tender.

    Serves 1 - 1 cup per serving

    Cook's Tip: Experiment with different dried vegetable combinations and
    no-salt-added herb or seasoning combinations (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon), such as
    those on pages 219-221. Keep a small bottle of toasted sesame oil handy and
    pour a few drops on the chicken soup for an Asian flavor (similar to that of
    egg drop soup).

    Cook's Tip: If you begin with new jars of herbs and bouillon granules, these
    mixtures will keep in an airtight container for up to a year. Be sure to
    keep in a closed cabinet away from the light.
