Notes
To cook: bring 8 cups water to a boil, add the jar's contents, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or cornbread. The jar keeps as long as its shortest-lasting ingredient; an oxygen absorber or vacuum sealing helps it keep longer. Safety: freeze-dried chicken can go rancid, so keep the jar cool and use it within its dates.
