Notes
Start with a completely dry jar: Since all the ingredients are dry, make sure the mason jar and lid are clean and completely dry before filling.
Keep the cooking instructions with the jar: I've had readers specifically ask about printable tags, and they're especially useful if you're giving the soup mix as a gift.
Use the right size jar: This recipe is written for a 1-quart mason jar. A pint jar won't hold the full amount of noodles and other ingredients.
Date the jar: Write the date on the label and use the earliest best-before date from the packaged ingredients as your guide.
Add an oxygen absorber only if appropriate: If you're using one, choose a food-grade oxygen absorber intended for dry foods and follow its package directions. Oxygen absorbers remove oxygen; they don't replace the need to keep the ingredients dry.
