  2        Tablespoons  minced onion (dried)

  1              Small  sliced dried carrot

Preparation:

This makes one recipe of soup mix. NOTE: If you cannot find some of these vegetables dried you can substitute fresh when you make the soup, or substitute 5 tablespoons for dehydrated vegetable mix found at bulk food stores (at least in Canada and US). or do as I do and dehydrate your own. To make soup: 1 recipe of soup mix 5 cups boiling water 1 can (14 oz) tomatoes (I prefer diced stewed tomatoes) Add water, mix and tomatoes together and return to full boil. Then simmer covered for 30 minutes. Remove soup from heat and let set for 10 minutes before serving.
