Hearty Pea Soup in a Jar

 

2 C. Split Green Peas

2 T. dried chopped Onions

½ C. dried Celery

¼ C. dried diced Carrot

1 C. dried Potato Chunks

2 T. Beef or Chicken Bouillon

1 tsp. dried Parsley

1 ½ tsp. dried Oregano

1 ½ tsp. dried Basil

 

Add ingredients to a quart mason jar (order does not matter). Add an oxygen absorber or vacuum seal for long term storage. To make soup add 12 C. of water to a stock pot. Pour in contents of jar and allow to sit about 10 minutes off heat. After 10 minutes have elapsed, bring soup up to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to keep the bottom from sticking and burning. The soup is done when the peas have lost most of their form and the soup is thick.
