Mix in a Jar: creamy tomato soup mix (2 variations)
I am one of those rare creatures that just does not care for tomato soup. Tomatoes in soup are perfectly wonderful, but plain tomato soup - bleah. Bizarre dichotomy, I know.
As a result, I am absolutely unable to judge which of these recipes are a better fit. Therefore, since I have both, I decided to simply post both so as to allow those that like this sort of thing to make a final determination for themselves.
These simple mix in a jar recipes make an utterly fantastic packaged gift for university mates and children that are going back. Send them with as many mixes as you can package up. They will already have access to a kettle in their dorm rooms, I am sure (as I most certainly did), and the ability to whip up a nice (free) mug of soup from home would be most appreciated.
