Chicken Broth, Noodles & Vegetables in a Jar

Submitted by Montana Heart Song

"Everything you need to make a meal, just add cooked chicken pieces or cubes and water. You don't have to add meat. The longer the broth cooks, the more intense flavor. I have given this as gifts to neighbors for years. A perfect gift for new moms,ill friends, shower gift and holiday giving."
