Happy October, everyone!
Here's another awesome soup in a jar recipe I created for ya. I was looking at what was on sale for this month, and it looked like soup is on the menu!
One thing to note - if you look at the sale page, you'll see dehydrated potato chunks listed on there. I originally tried making this soup with the dehydrated potatoes, and it took so long (25-ish minutes) for the potatoes to soften, that everything else came out overcooked. So, I used our freeze dried potatoes instead, since they only need 10-15 minutes to cook. That way, everything else would still keep its nice flavor and texture without being over boiled.
So why do we even have dehydrated potatoes, when 99% of everything Thrive makes is freeze dried?? It's to give you more options. The dehydrated potatoes are a nice thing to use if you plan to let it simmer in a crockpot or in a soup for a long time, because they will hold their shape a little better and won't break down. On the other hand, the freeze dried potatoes are nice when you are looking for a faster meal. So, for a speedy soup in a jar recipe, I felt like the freeze dried potatoes were a better fit.
Here's the recipe:
Cheesy Vegetable Chowder in a Jar
Serves 4-5
3/4 c. Thrive Life potato dices
1/3 c. Thrive Life cheese blend
¾ c. Thrive Life broccoli
1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. Thrive Life chicken bouillon
2 tsp. Oregano
2 Tbsp. flour
½ c. Thrive life celery
Layer everything in the order listed, into a 1 quart
mason jar. Place a new oxygen absorption packet
in the top of the jar, then tightly screw on a lid and ring. Store
away from light to ensure a longer shelf life.
Dump contents of jar into 5 cups of cold water into
a pot. Heat to a boil, stirring
occasionally, then continue to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until potatoes
are soft.
