Jar mix recipes don’t come much easier than this instant potato soup.
By Jane Lake
This is a nice jar mix recipe to make for someone who takes lunch to work – all they need do is add a cup of boiling water to enjoy a tasty bowl of potato soup.
Instant Potato Soup Mix
2 cups instant mashed potatoes
1½ cups instant milk powder
2 tbsps instant chicken bouillon
2 tsp dried minced onion
1 tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp turmeric
1½ tsp seasoning salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Store in 1 quart jar. Alternatively, you could divide the mix into small ziploc bags, adding 1/2 cup to each bag, as a handy addition to pack with your lunch.
To Serve:
Place ½ cup instant soup mix in a soup bowl, cup or mug. Add one cup of boiling water and stir until smooth.
I really appreciate this recipe. I make it for family members who work in the trades. They like the ease of an instant hot lunch.
I really appreciate your feedback, Victoria. I confess this is still one of my go-to jar staples. It’s hearty and satisfying and coupled with a sandwich seems to make a packed lunch into the next best thing to lunch at home. Homemade comfort on the go!
