Description

These Mason Jar Soup are a quick and easy meal-prep idea for cozy winter days. Just layer noodles, vegetables, and protein in a jar, then add hot water when ready to eat—no cooking required! Perfect for busy weekdays or a grab-and-go lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 serving rice noodles
  • 1 tsp bouillon or miso paste
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mushrooms, sliced
  • ¼ cup bean sprouts
  • ¼ cup red pepper, sliced
  • ¼ cup broccoli florets
  • ¼ cup shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup shredded carrot
  • ½ cup tofu cubes
  • Fresh herbs (optional)
  • Hot water (when ready to eat)

Instructions

  1. Layer garlic, bouillon or miso paste, and soy sauce at the bottom of a mason jar.
  2. Add vegetables one by one, followed by tofu (or protein of choice).
  3. Place rice noodles on top, folding if needed to fit.
  4. Top with fresh herbs if desired, then seal with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. When ready to eat, pour boiling hot water into the jar, seal, and shake gently. Let sit 6–7 minutes to cook.
  6. Open, stir, and enjoy! Add chili powder or chili sauce for extra heat.

Notes

  • Use glass mason jars that can withstand hot liquids.
  • Customize with chicken, shrimp, or tempeh instead of tofu.
  • Great for making 3–4 jars in advance for meal prep.
  • Keep jars refrigerated and consume within 3–4 days.
