Instructions on how to make an inexpensive jar of soup mix to donate to a food charity organisation or keep handy in your pantry
Course: Main Course
Keyword: Jar of Hope, Soup mix
Servings: 1 jar
- ½ c small pasta shapes shells or small macaroni works best
- 1½ c dried soup mix see note
- ½ c dried brown lentils
- 1 tbsp stock powder veggie or chicken works well
- 1 packet dry soup powder this forms the flavour base of the soup and thickens it. I use brown onion soup or mushroom soup
Layer the ingredients carefully in the jar so that the different ingredients are separated. I like to start with half the soup mix, then the stock powder, pasta shapes, lentils and soup powder. I top up the jar with the remaining half of the soup mix.
Close the jar very well and paste a label with the ingredients and directions on the front. My labels look like this:
- Soup mix is a mix of wheat, lentils, split peas and other dried ingredients that are sold mixed together and makes soup making easy and inexpensive.
