Harvest Soup mix Soup

I am absolutely freezing right now, so the only food that I want to think about today will be soups. This is going to be the theme for today, SOUP! Something warm and filling. Sounds good, right? Harvest soup sounds good as well. It has a lot in it like wild rice, peas, tomatoes, and pasta. With all that it should fill you up. With only 80 calories a serving, you should be able to have a couple servings or maybe some hot bread with it.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 c. dried split peas
1/3 c. plus 2 T beef bouillon granules
1/2 c. barley uncooked
3/4 c. lentils dried
1/2 c. dried minced onion
3/4 c. long-grain wild rice, uncooked
3/4 c. tiny bow tie or alphabet pasta
3 quarts water
28 ounces diced tomatoes
(optional 1-1/2 lb. stew meat, browned, not calculated here)

DIRECTIONS

Add soup mix to large stockpot. Stir in 3 qt. water and tomatoes (and meat if you choose). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for one to two hours or until peas, lentils, and rice are tender.
