Friendship Soup
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup dried split peas
1/3 cup beef soup base (vegetable or chicken
can be used also)
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup dried lentil beans
1/4 cup dried minced onion
1/2 cup of long grain rice
2 tsp.Italian seasoning
1/2 cup macaroni
1 pound cooked Hamburger (or cooked chicken)
1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes,undrained
3 quarts of water
Recipe
Combine all ingredients EXCEPT macaroni and simmer until the beans are
soft. During the last 10 or so minutes of cooking add the macaroni
and cook until macaroni is done. This will make enough soup to feed 6
to 8 hungry men. I serve it with fresh rolls and garlic bread.
Note: As a gift: Layer the leftover dried ingredients using the same
measurements as recipe, in a nice decorative jar. Make a copy of the
recipe and pass it along to a friend.
