Soup Mix in a Jar

Very convenient idea that we will definitely implement for other soups. I added bay leaves & maggi to try to improve it, just not a hit.. (Sorry.)

This was wonderful! We had it last night (and again for lunch today) and just loved it. My husband says "A+". My 2yo had half her bowl eaten before I had even started! Definitely recommend! The only changes I made was to increase some of the ingredients - 3/4 c lentils, 1 c pasta, 1 qt stewed tomatoes. This just made the soup thicker, and filled the quart jar a little better. Thank you so much for this recipe - I am going to be packing several jars to have on hand for hectic days. I am also going to pack some 1/2 batch jars to give to grandparents - still plenty for at least 2 meals, but not so much to overwhelm them. As a side note - make sure to use an extremely large pot - I'd recommend a stock pot. My 5qt dutch oven was full to the brim, so I had to transfer to a stock pot. Save the dishes and start bigger than you think you need! This make a hearty meal for 6-8 adults.

The mix fills a 500 ml jar if you leave the pasta separate. A 750 ml jar is just a bit too big. I used a little less boullion granules because 1 tsp is usually needed for 2 cups liquid. since I am vegetarian I also used the vegetarian versions of everything. I actually made this soup tonight and it smells and tastes fantastic. Instead of ground beef/mince I used TVP which I threw in with a little oil and the garlic. One of the better soups I have come across on Zaar so don't hesitate to give this one as a gift!

I wasn't expecting this soup to be as good with all the dry ingredients but it was really good! Very flavorful and tasty. Super easy to make. Thank you!
