Great gift idea, Beef and Vegetable Soup in a Jar

Beef and Vegetable Soup in a Jar

Makes 1 jar of mix, about 8 servings.

• 1 package (1.6 ounces) brown gravy mix
• 2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
• 1/4 cup dried minced onion
• 1/4 cup dried celery flakes
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
• 3 cups rotini pasta (or pasta of your choice)

To assemble jar: Pour gravy mix into a wide-mouth jar. In a small bowl, stir together bouillon granules, onion, celery and parsley. Pour into jar to make second layer. Add rotini. Close lid. Attach gift tag.

Gift-tag instructions: Brown 1 pound ground beef in a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven. Add contents of jar, 7 cups water and 1 (16-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, undrained. Heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese.

Note: Jar ingredients will keep for several weeks in a cool, dry pantry.
