Soup Recipe √ Rice and Lentil Soup in a Jar

I live in Sweden where Thursday is the official unofficial day for soup. This soup is great for Thursdays or ANY day!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• ⅓ cup uncooked converted rice
• ⅓ cup red lentils
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• ⅓ cup uncooked converted rice
• ⅓ cup green lentils
• 2 teaspoons butter or margarine
• 8 cups water
• ¼ cup chopped celery
• 1 cup cubed cooked chicken

Cooking Directions

1. Measure the chicken bouillon granules into a 1 pint jar. Top with 1/3 cup of instant rice, red lentils, dried parsley, pepper, poultry seasoning, 1/3 cup of rice and then the green lentils on top. Seal with a lid and ring for gift giving.
2. To make the soup, bring the butter and water to a boil in a large pot. Pour in the contents of the jar and add celery and chicken if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
