Bean Soup Gift Basket
I knew this recipe would make a great gift when my
children started asking for it all the time. Everyone seems to like it
and I like how easy it is to make. You can have it on the table in
about ten minutes or less! What you need:- shiny stock pot, decorative soup turreen or crock pot
- large jar of great northern beans
- packet of powdered Garlic Alfredo sauce mix
- cornbread mix
- large soup mugs
- oyster crackers, crusty bread or crunchy breadsticks
- directions for soup - "Mix sauce according to package directions and add jar of beans. Heat for 3-4 minutes on low."
Instant Mix Soup Basket
I saw some recipes online for instant soup mixes so I tried a couple
out like Cream of Potato (uses mashed potato flakes and dried milk) and
a Tomato Soup that uses dried tomato powder (at first I bought that but
then I had an abundance of tomatoes in the garden so I learned how to
make my own - sounds a bit odd, I know, powdering tomatoes, but it
really doesn't take me
much time). Anyhow, I made up these mixes and made gift baskets with
several packets of different varieties to my two nieces who live in
college dorms. - Sheila in Richmond, VAHoliday Soup
For a fun Christmas gift basket for the neighbors, I
made
three big jars of noodle soup mix with directions that after Christmas
dinner was over, they should boil their turkey carcass, strain it and
add the noodle soup mix, which included fine noodles, spices, chicken
bouillon,etc. - Carrey in Ashland, ORWhere Would You Like to Go Next?
