Country Five Bean Soup Mix in a Jar

I made a few of these Country Five bean soup mixes in a jar and gave them out as gifts. Of course, before I did that I made a ‘test batch’ for ourselves. The soup is simple and tasty and quite hardy. I love homemade soup. And even as easy as this is to make, it’s fantastic. I keep a few jars of the mix on hand for a quick and delicious soup any time. Now, granted, I don’t keep the fancy fru-fru versions of the jars in my own pantry for my own use. I save those to give away as special gifts for friends, neighbors and relatives.

Give The Gift Of Soup

All the recipient of your country five bean soup mix in a jar needs is a pound of smoked sausage (skinless, turkey… any kind will do), a can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, some water and little time! That’s it! In no time, they’ll be enjoying a bowl of delicious soup that looks, tastes and even smells homemade, like it should!

For the recipe card I just threw a little something together in Word. You can download it here. To print them I used Avery Personal Creations Textured Postcards (3380).

This recipe is based on a recipe from Savings Lifestyle.
