As you can tell by now, I’m all about gift giving and love
the idea of giving homemade items as gifts. These delightful dry soup mixes are
the ultimate handmade gift for your loved ones—and thousands of fans
agree! They’re budget-friendly (only a
few bucks each), delicious, and thoughtful. Plus, my favorite parts are
consumable! You give it, they enjoy it, and it’s gone—no clutter left behind
waiting to be donated.
This beautiful green soup mix is so festive and green! I
like to stir in a cup of chopped ham when it's finished cooking to make it
really hearty. To make Split Pea Soup Mix in a Jar, layer these ingredients in
the order listed in a wide-mouth pint canning jar:
Ingredients:
2 cups split green peas
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon dried chopped onions
1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
1 bay leaf
1 chicken bouillon cube or 2 tbsp powder
Instructions for cooking the Split Pea Soup from the mix:
Add all ingredients from the jar to four cups of water to a
saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until
the peas are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in
one cup of chopped ham before serving if you desire. Season to taste.
