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 |
1/3 cup uncooked converted rice |
1/3 cup red lentils |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/3 cup uncooked converted rice |
1/3 cup green lentils |
2 teaspoons butter or margarine |
8 cups water |
1/4 cup chopped celery (optional) |
1 cup cubed cooked chicken (optional) |
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.
