This soup recipe is the perfect one for giving. You can add all of the dry ingredients to a mason jar, attach a card with the directions, and pass them out to all of your friends. It’s an excellent option when you are looking to cheer someone up who is sad or make someone feel better that is sick. I like to give it away during the holidays too because it is a huge time saver!
