These recipes were from a 1984 issue of Better Homes and Gardens.
I print out the four recipes on a page of my computer divided into
fourths, then I print on colored paper, cut the recipes apart, collate
them, punch a hole in the corners and tie them together with yarn or
ribbon to attach to the soup mix.
