Homemade Gifts – Soup Mix in a Jar

One of my favorite homemade gifts to make is the jar mix.  You know, those jars layered with the ingredients to make a soup or some baked dessert, like cookies?

I have three books filled with recipes and ideas, but one of my favorites comes from right here on my trusty old internet – Confetti Bean Soup.  It even comes with a printable tag with directions for the recipient.  This jar looks great and makes a nice warm meal for a cold winter day, just add tomatoes.

If you use this recipe, throw in an extra bouillon cube.  I taste-tested this recipe before I made the jars to give out last year and it really needs the extra cube.

My mother-in-law said she loved the soup, as did Bob and I.

For a special touch, you can decorate the fabric cover with some embroidery.  You could even personalize it.

If you don’t embroider, try glitter glue pens for a personal touch.
