1 pound Thin spaghetti You can substitute other pasta or egg noodles. For larger shaped pastas or noodles, you will need approximately two cups as opposed to one pound.
1/2 cup Dehydrated vegetables If you do not have dehydrated vegetables, you can leave them out and add in fresh vegetables when you make the soup.
1 tsp Salt Omit if using store-bought bouillon powder. (See below.)
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 cup Bouillon powder, preferably homemade You can use any bouillon powder: chicken, turkey, beef, or vegetable. If using store-bought bouillon powder, omit salt.

1 Quart Jar Make Ahead Noodle Soup Mix
4 Quarts Water
Cooked chicken, optional You can substitute another cooked meat for cooked chicken.
Cooked vegetables, optional
Raw vegetables, chopped into bite-sized pieces, optional

Add all ingredients into a quart-sized jar, either mixed together or layered, and put the lid on the jar. (See video.)
This Make Ahead Noodle Soup Mix should have a shelf life of approximately six months unrefrigerated.

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large stockpot and empty the contents of the jar containing the Make Ahead Noodle Soup Mix into the boiling water.
Return the water to a boil, turn the heat down to a medium simmer, and allow the soup to simmer for 10 minutes.
If adding raw vegetables, add them to the soup pot at the same time you add the soup mix.
If using cooked meats or cooked vegetables, add them to the stockpot for the last two minutes of cooking time to allow them to warm through.
You can store leftovers in the refrigerator, sealed well, for 2-3 days, and then rewarm in a saucepan on the stovetop.
