Bean Soup in a Jar

Easy Bean Soup in a Jar

Bean Soup is one of my favorite things to make in a jar and give as a gift by itself or in a themed gift basket. Dry beans are inexpensive, especially if you shop at Aldi’s or dollar stores for them, and with jars you can find at second hand stores or maybe in your own attic, you have easy gifts! If you like, you can make up spice mixes to go with the beans, such as sea salt, pepper, bay leaf, and thyme for a delicious blend. All you need is a few things to decorate the jars and you’re good to gift!

Mixes for Bean Soup in a Jar

There are a lot of different dry beans you can use in Bean Soup in a Jar. I layered my jars with different colored beans for a pretty jar. Navy beans are a great basic bean that goes great in soup. Red kidney beans bring a great color, with lima beans adding a meaty texture. Split peas have an earthy taste and can be found in green or yellow varieties. Pinto beans round out the Bean Soup in a Jar blend with a speckled beauty.
