Ingredients

2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
⅓ cup uncooked converted rice
⅓ cup red lentils
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
⅓ cup uncooked converted rice
⅓ cup green lentils
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
8 cups water
¼ cup chopped celery
1 cup cubed cooked chicken

Steps:

Measure the chicken bouillon granules into a 1 pint jar. Top with 1/3 cup of instant rice, red lentils, dried parsley, pepper, poultry seasoning, 1/3 cup of rice and then the green lentils on top. Seal with a lid and ring for gift giving.
To make the soup, bring the butter and water to a boil in a large pot. Pour in the contents of the jar and add celery and chicken if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
