Soup in a Jar Gift

I took this to a family who recently had a baby boy. I was so excited to have this recipe on hand and a jar to just throw it in. It is a GREAT soup, I always make the soup mixes before I give them to people to make sure they taste good. Wouldn't that be awful giving someone a soup that tasted bad or didn't work?! I would feel TERRIBLE! Well this one is good and EASY. All the recipient has to do is add water, carrots and celery! I make these in bulk so whenever you want, you can leave one on someone's door, give to someone sick, or a new addition to a family. I made 5 of these for my mom's Christmas present last year! She loves them! An easy meal you just throw into a pot of water! Make someone's day by giving them a Soup in a Jar!




Soup in a Jar Mix:

Place in order into the Jar:

3 T. Chicken Bouillon Granuels
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp. Celery Salt
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
3 T. Onion Flakes
Tri-colored Rotini Pasta- Fill to the top- About 3-4 cups


On the recipe you give with the jar:

Add noodle soup to a pot of 10 c. of water. Add 2 diced carrots and 2 diced stalks of celery. Drain the can of chicken and add to the soup. Simmer for 15-20 min. Enjoy!





I put 6 strands of twine to hold it all together- I wish I would have done 8. I didn't have ribbon long enough. If using a thicker ribbon you won't have to put so many around. Putting the can of chicken on the bottom makes it more of a complete soup gift.

  5. I'm thinking of doing this up for our Blessing Box we have on the street side of the church. you mentioned adding carrots and celery. That wouldn't work so I am going to find some dried veggies and put in bags, not glass. Thanks for the idea.
