Friendship Soup Mix

"My favorite. My mother gave me this recipe in 1998 when I left home. I missed the home cooked soup that she made all growing up and asked her for the recipe. She made it and wrote it down for me. I am sorry for those that think it came from a 1999 book; isn't it great how a recipe is recycled and recycled over time everyone will have the same thing their grandparents ate and think it is cool. Have fun with this recipe and use different beans, veggies, and amounts. It is fun to play with!"

  1. I found this recipe somewhere else but this one is exactly the same, minus the instructions on giving as gift. We cook this in a stock pot and it is my absolute favorite soup (this coming from a girl that use to ONLY eat chicken noodles soup that contained nothing but chicken and noodles!) LOVE this soup and it's healthiness!
     
  2. This mix makes a great homemade gift and looks so nice with the different layers in the jar. I have given it to many of my children's teachers and neighbors, etc. over the years. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. This 1999 Taste of Home cookbook recipe is terrific to layer in jars and give (with instructions) as gifts to new neighbors or sell at church fundraisers, etc...The yield is actually 16 (one cup) servings or 4 quarts per batch when cooked...The diabetic exchanges are 1½ starch, 1 meat...

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in an RV and am traveling on the road with my family. Daddy is a travel welder and we go where the work is. The girls love to eat home cooked meals. I am a stay at home mom. I think that my favorite cookbook would be to call my mom and ask her for a recipe. She can cook, and create all kinds of recipes off the top of her head and all with leftovers.
