Using a funnel, layer ingredients in the following order:  bouillon, onion flakes, split peas, small shape pasta, barley, lentils, rice and enough tri-color spiral pasta to fill the jar.  Store in a cool, dark place. Soup mix in a jar will hold a shelf life of approximately 6 months.

For soup, brown 1 pound ground beef or stew beef in a little olive oil.
Remove tri-color pasta from top of jar and reserve.
Add the rest of the jar contents to the pan and add 12 cups water.
Boil and simmer 45 minutes.
Add tri-color pasta and simmer 15 minutes more.
