I knew from the moment that I started the "Naughty and Nice" project that I wanted to do a spiral noodle soup in some form. I did a lot of research into what jarred soups people had made and what recipes there were to choose from. Armed with all of this knowledge, I used the basic form from a couple of different recipes to design my "Santa Sweat Soup" to be included in my "Naughty" packages. Here is the way to make it, I hope you enjoy!
Santa Sweat Soup (Spiral Soup) in a Jar
Ingredients that you need for the jar:
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup beef boullion granules
1/2 cup dried minced onion
3-1/2 cups of tri-colored spiral pasta (or enough to fill the jar)
Assembly Instructions:
Mix all the powders together to blend, and add to the jar using a canning funnel.
Add the Spiral pasta (for added fun, separate the colors and layer them for a unique look)
Decorate the Jar with fabric, stickers, or tie a ribbon around the top. Include cooking instructions and gift away!
