Homemade Holidays- Mason Jar Curry Lentil Soup

This holiday season, we continued our tradition of keeping our office open late so families could stop by and make a homemade gift.
Our first evening we had supplies on hand to make a pint jar of homemade lentil soup.
Thank you Definitely Not Martha for the idea! All of our families really enjoyed this easy (and healthy) holiday activity.

We followed Leslie's recipe:

6 oz. green lentils

1 Tablespoon curry powder (or 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning for non-curry lovers, omitting the dried apples and making a note to add tomatoes to the soup pot)

3 Tablespoons dried minced onion

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

5 oz. red lentils

2 Tablespoons chopped, dried apple

We added an instruction tag, ribbon and made a jar topper by tracing the lid over an upcycled holiday card. Voila, a beautiful gift for a friend or a gift for yourself of an easy healthy dinner.
