Handmade Holidays: Lentil Soup Mix
You can fill up a bunch of jars with this lentil soup mix for pretty much anyone on your gift list.
I’ve said before that I love giving (and receiving!) food gifts. You can’t go wrong with tasty edibles or mixes, and this lentil soup mix that I gave out a few years ago was a big hit! A few folks called me in January to ask me for the recipe so that they could make it again.
This recipe makes one jar, but if you’re planning to make a lot of these, I recommend doing it assembly line style – line up all of your ingredients and measuring cups around the table, so you can go from ingredient to ingredient. I’m also including a page of printable cards that you can attach to your jars that tells your giftee how to make the mix.

I love this idea! Lentil soup is so delicious and easy. Plus, it’s nice to see an idea that’s savory instead of sweet for holiday gift-giving!
Thank you!
You must be reading my mind! I have been wanting to give healthy edible gifts, and have been looking at the soup-in-a-jar recipes on line but not seeing anything I really liked.
I’m so glad I could help, Abby!
My friends are health nuts and also really into homemade gifts. I think this will be perfect. Also, I have all of the ingredients in my pantry. Score!
Awesome! Happy gifting! :)
I really wish I’d had the time to whip up edible gifts this year–definitely bookmarking for next!
I hear ya! I made way fewer gifts this year than last. 2012 has been a busy one!!
I’m a huge fan of lentil soup..but I dont recognize this variant. I am skeptical but willing!
Let me know how you like it! I love Indian spices in anything, especially lentils!
I like this clever idea. The jars would make a great hostess gift as well as a holiday gift.
Thanks, Andrea! I love the idea of giving them as hostess gifts!
