Servings 8 servings

A layered quart jar of country gravy mix, dried seasonings and egg noodles that cooks up as chicken noodle soup. Add the cooking directions when you give it as a gift.

Ingredients

1 package (2.75 ounces) country gravy mix
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons dried celery flakes
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
2 1/2 to 3 cups uncooked wide egg noodles or other pasta

Directions

Pour the gravy mix into a wide-mouth quart jar.
Stir the bouillon, onion, celery, and parsley together in a small bowl and add them as the second layer.
Top with the noodles, seal the jar, and add the cooking directions if it is a gift.

Notes

Empty the jar into a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven. Add 8 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium, add one 10-ounce can or two 6-ounce cans cooked chopped chicken, and simmer covered 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

Storage: dry mix about 1 year sealed, cool, dark, dry. Soup refrigerated within 2 hours, 3 to 4 days; freeze up to 3 months.
