Instructions

Notes

Label the jar: Make sure you label the jar with the soup mix ingredients and instructions to make the soup. Otherwise, in a few months, you'll be wondering what is in that jar!
Increase shelf life: Add an oxygen absorber to the jar to extend the shelf life of your soup mix. An oxygen absorber is one of those little packages that say "do not eat" on them, and they work by absorbing oxygen and moisture, helping prevent mold and food spoilage.
Gather your materials: Before you start, make sure you have pint-size wide mouth mason jars, twine and a printable tag on hand.
Gift-giving: These make wonderful gifts! So, make some extra (and don't forget the labels and instructions!)
