Soup in a Glass: 3 Delicious and Quick Recipe Ideas

Soup in a jar is a practical solution when you need a quick lunch or when you don’t feel like cooking. We present three simple, delicious recipes for soup in a jar that you can easily prepare the day before and only need to reheat the next day.

Soup in a glass: quick zucchini and potato soup

If you want to eat something warm during your lunch break, use soup in a glass. Prepare the soup the day before and store it in a sealable mason jar. All you have to do is heat the dish in the microwave or on the stove and you have a ready, warm meal. For example, try the recipe for a delicious zucchini cream soup:

1. Ingredients for 2 servings: 2 courgettes, 200 g potatoes (floury), 500 ml vegetable stock, 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic, 50 g crème fraîche, 1 tbsp oil, salt, pepper, herbs as required
2. Preparation: First prepare the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes, zucchini, onion, and garlic into small cubes. The smaller you cut the ingredients, the quicker they will cook.
3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wide saucepan. Add the vegetables and sauté for about five minutes. Pour in half a liter of vegetable broth.
4. Cover the pot with a lid. Let the soup simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on how big or small you chop the vegetables.
5. Season the soup with salt and pepper. If you like, add herbs such as parsley or chives.
6. Puree your soup with a hand blender or in a stand mixer.
7. Fill the finished zucchini soup into two sealable mason jars. To make the soup taste extra creamy, add a tablespoon of crème fraîche to each of the glasses. Garnish the soup with a few parsley leaves or chopped chives.

2. Preparation: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Peel the celery, onion, and garlic and cut into small cubes. Chop the walnuts.
3. Sauté the onion, garlic, celery, and broccoli in a saucepan with a little oil for five minutes.
4. Then add the vegetable broth to the pot. Briefly boil the soup. Then let them simmer on medium heat for ten minutes.
