Mason Jar Soup

September 3, 2018   7 Comments

Mason jar soup is the soup you want for the start of fall. It is easy, portable, and people will be jealous of your ingenuity.

Mason jars are absolutely everywhere!! For my birthday, I went to a fancier than usual place for brunch and they were strung from the ceiling with light bulbs in them. I know it doesn’t sound fancy but I guess it has become very stylish to hang them around.

But, who wants to hang them up when you can use them for delicious soup? The concept is simple – make some soup, store it in Mason jars – heat up in bowl in microwave (or on stove) when ready to consume.

If you are going to work or school, add the step of tossing the Mason jar into a lunch bag.

Where can you find Mason jars? You can buy them in packs of 12 at a hardware store. They are great for storing change, pencils, dried beans, or whatever you have that needs to be dry and fresh.

I just used mine for easy refrigerator pickles. I can fit even the large quart jars in my dishwasher.

This recipe involves no cooking! I mix the ingredients in a large measuring cup to make it easy to pour into the jars. I love my vegetarian black bean soup recipe but this mason jar soup is perfect for when I don’t have time to cook.

For those who are worried sugar added in your salsa – don’t be concerned. Most brands (including this nationwide Ortega) do not add sugar. I don’t think salsa needs sugar but I also think that about tomato sauce (and there can be quite a lot added).

I like to use medium strength because I like my food spicy but you can choose whatever salsa you like to make this work for you.

For those Weight Watchers members out there – this soup is ZERO points. Just don’t add sour cream, cheddar, tortilla chips, or anything else high in calories and you don’t have to count it.

Do you store food in Mason jars? What do you make?
