Dried Soup Mix Recipes

Ok girls, here you go.
With some tweeking, (or not) theses are handy to have on hand and would be a great addition to any doomer pantry.
These recipes were originally for Christmas presents but I have put mine in smaller plastic zip lock bags and then put several of them in gallon plastic jars. What I've been doing is dehydrating my vegetables and putting them in the soup mixes instead of counting on having fresh carrots and onions and celery etc.
If you do that, for instance in the Chicken Noodle Soup recipe below, keep your pasta separate and cook the vegetables till rehydrated and tender, then add the pasta and finish cooking.
