These Vegetarian bean soup recipe DIY jars are perfect for this time of year when the weather starts to get cooler. After making the mason jar recipe, make the soup using this recipe. This recipe uses pinto, northern, black, and kidney beans as well as split green peas. The spice pack made and put in the mason jar has black pepper, paprika, dried mustard, dried onion flakes, sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf, and vegetable bouillon cubes. With all those seasonings, you know this soup is going to be flavorful! And with pre-made bean soup DIY jars, it’s easier than ever!

This Vegetarian bean soup recipe is not only vegetarian, but thanks to the vegetable bouillon, it is also vegan. The beans really pack a lot of protein and carbs. Once you add the diced tomatoes, you have everything you need in a meal! However, it’s understandable if you need something to go along with your soup, like some fresh bread.

Because beans and canned tomatoes are relatively inexpensive, this is a great winter meal for when you are trying to stay on a tight budget. Plus, each individual jar makes eight servings, so it can last you a while! And this recipe makes four jars. If you aren’t able to finish all eight servings within a few days, you can freeze portioned leftovers to easily be heated up when you need it.
