Mexican Bean Soup Mix in a Jar

    This mix makes a really delicious and hearty soup that is perfect any time of the year.  It is bursting with flavor and is easy on your pocketbook.  It is also great to take on camping trips and it freezes well too.

 

• 3/4 c dried pinto beans
• 3/4 c. navy beans
• 3/4 c. kidney beans
• 3/4 c. black beans
• 1 c. small cut pasta
• 1/2 c. rice
• 4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 2 T. dehydrated onion
• 2 T. parsley flakes
• 1 T. chili powder
• 2 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. oregano

 

    Layer the beans into a quart jar.  Place the pasta in a small baggie.  Place the rice into another small baggie.  Put the rest of the ingredients into a 3rd small baggie.  Place baggies into jar with the beans.  

To make the soup:

    Rinse the beans and place them into a heavy bottomed soup pot with 8 cups of water.  Bring to a boil.  Once they start to boil, turn off the stove and remove the pot from heat  Put a lid on the pot and let it sit for an hour.

    Once the hour has elapsed, drain the beans and put them back into the pot.  Add in 8 cups of water and the contents of the 3rd baggie (spices, etc.).  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for an hour with a lid on the pot.  The beans should be tender at this point.  If not, allow them to simmer a bit longer.  

    Once the beans are tender, stir in the rice and cover and simmer about 15 minutes.  Now stir in the pasta and 1/2 cup of water.  Uncover the pot  Cook for 10 minutes.  Serve and enjoy.

Potato Soup Mix In A Jar Recipe

    I love easy and not much is easier than mixing up some mix-in-a-jar recipes.  Not only do they make wonderful gifts but they are also nice to have on hand for a quick and easy meal or midnight snack!

     Once mixed up, this potato soup has a smooth consistency that is not too thin nor too thick.  Some recipes for potato soup in a jar comes out looking and tasting like mashed potatoes but not this one.  This one tastes like it should:  a flavorful, aromatic, and delicious bowl of soup!   This recipe is family tested and they all approved of it.  I'm sure your family and friends will like it too.

     It makes a warm and delicious meal in the cooler months.  It only takes some boiling water and the mix for a quick bite.  Besides that, if you decorate the lid a bit, it would make a wonderful gift during the holidays.  I have given this to friends, neighbors, teachers, etc and they all are super appreciative.
