Spiral Soup in a Jar Mix
with Printable Gift Tags
by Jane Lake
This soup mix recipe is one of the easiest jar recipes to assemble, using ingredients that you may already have in the pantry. Although you could use plain spiral pasta for this jar mix, the tricolor variety adds a lot of visual interest.
As you can see from our photos, you can separate the three colors of pasta for a pretty layered look, or simply pour the tricolor spirals into the jar as they come from the package. Both versions look attractive when you add our free printable jar labels - one for the front of your jar, and a label of instructions for the back.
Although I like this soup as it comes from the jar mix, you can add additional vegetables along with the canned tomatoes. Leftover peas and carrots, frozen french-style green beans or frozen corn would blend in beautifully. Serve this soup piping hot, with rounds of melba toast, crackers, or toasted garlic bread. Garnish with grated parmesan, if desired.

How much do gifts in a jar sell for?
I'm a little confused about the amount of bouillon to use; is it 1/3 cup or 3 tsp?
Please let me know how much these soups in a jar are selling for. I have a fair this weekend and would like to get a price. Thanks
I just love the recipe and the idea, our village is making a weekend art show, and would love to do these recipe in a jar, but if I may ask, how much would you sell a jar. I do not want to go to high and not to low.
yes I would like to know also how much these soups in a jar are selling for. Please email me back asap. I have a fair this weekend.
I read the comments. My sister-in-law & brother are expecting their third child in July. Since it's not completly pre-made there's no rush to eat or freeze. Plus, since it's July they may not want soup - so the additional suggestions are great!
I made spiral soup for Christmas gifts this year. I put it in wide mouth jars and decorated them a little and they turned out beautiful. I had several of the people that I gave them to call me and asked me for the recipe and now we make this for weekly meals regularly. It was so simple to make and I was really proud to give these as gifts.

I just wanted to say thank you for putting these recipes and great pictures here for all to enjoy. I always add a few jars when doing meals for all the pregnant mommies in my group. Its nice to be able to just add water and other small ingredients when at home with a brand new baby. Everyone is always really appreciative to get them. My son also loves helping me to sort out the different colored pasta :) Keep up the good work.
I am looking for the little book Layered Soup Mixes in Jars by Jackie Gannaway. Is this Jackie?
