Layer barley, peas, rice, and lentils in a wide-mouth 1-quart jar. Layer onion, parsley, salt, lemon pepper, bouillon, and alphabet pasta around the edges. Fill the rest of the jar with twist macaroni.

Seal and attach a gift card. The gift card should read: Add contents of jar to 3 quarts of water, 2 stalks of chopped celery, 2 sliced carrots, 1 cup of shredded cabbage (optional) and 2 cups diced tomatoes. Over medium low heat, cover and simmer about 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender.
