Recipe Notes

Top tips

  • When adding ingredients to the jar, add the noodles first, followed by the vegetables and seasonings, and add the cilantro last/on top. It will stay fresher and avoid wilting that way.
  • Make sure your jar is heatproof and has a leak proof lid, especially if you plan on taking this on the go- we definitely want to avoid leaks in your bag or car! I swear by Weck jars- used this Weck jar to make this soup and it was perfect for one portion! It’s a 3/4 liter size and holds about 28 ounces.
  • Consider batching this recipe to make more for an easy, healthy meal prep option for the week!
  • You can store the soup ingredients covered in the jar in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
