Soup Singles – Italian Herb Soup Gift in a jar

Warm up a winter meal with Soup Singles – Italian Herb Gifts in a jar. This soup single makes the perfect meal for one or an appetizer for two. I added a few variations to the bottom of the ingredients if you are making a bunch of them for yourself. I like to give them to my single friends and to my elderly neighbors.  And I will let you in on a little secret we keep them in our emergency travel kit. For the kit, I have them in vacuum sealed pouches. We rotate out the food items every six months.  We keep enough food in it for our family of 4 to eat for 3-5 days, not including the rice.

To decorate the Soup Singles mason jar I used DecoArt Paint, Twine from Hemptique and Buttons Galore Buttons and my trusty hot glue gun from Adtech. Below are affiliate links where I earn a very small commission if you purchase the items.
