Soup to Go

• 1/4 cup uncooked instant brown rice or 2 tablespoons uncooked whole-wheat couscous
• 1/4 cup no-salt-added mixed dried vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, green peas, and corn
• 1 1/2 teaspoons very low sodium chicken bouillon granules
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
• 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup uncooked instant brown rice or 2 tablespoons uncooked whole-wheat couscous
• 1/4 cup no-salt-added mixed dried vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, green peas, and corn
• 1 1/2 teaspoons very low sodium beef bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon dried shallots
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, crumbled
• 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup boiling water

1. In a small airtight plastic bag or container, stir together all the ingredients for the chicken or beef soup mix.
2. To prepare the soup, put the dry mixture in a soup bowl.
3. Pour in the boiling water.
4. Stir.
5. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
6. Experiment with different dried vegetables (often located with the fresh produce in the grocery store) and no-salt-added herb or seasoning combinations.
7. Keep a small bottle of toasted sesame oil handy and pour a few drops into the chicken soup for an Asian flavor (similar to that of egg drop soup).
8. If you begin with new jars of herbs and bouillon granules, these soup mixtures will keep in an airtight container for up to a year.
9. Be sure to keep them in a closed cabinet away from the light.
