Vegan Noodle Soup Jars

What is Jar Soup?

Jar soup is a quick and clever way to meal prep soup without having to actually make the soup beforehand! Simply take all your soup ingredients and layer them inside a mason jar so that hot water can transform them into a fresh bowl of soup in minutes. The bottom of the jar holds concentrated flavor builders like bouillon, miso, or sauces. Vegetables and proteins sit in the middle, while noodles rest at the top to stay dry until the last moment. The result is one of the best jar soups for quick lunches. These mason jar soup recipes work beautifully for healthy soup meal prep, making them perfect for work lunches, travel meals, or busy weeknights when you want something nourishing without cooking from scratch.

Ingredients for Vegan Noodle Soup Jars

Here is everything you’ll need for these soup jars, along with a few alternative ingredients:

• Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon Cubes: These bouillon cubes are the foundation of the broth. As soon as hot water hits the jar, the cube dissolves and creates a savory base that mimics classic chicken noodle soup while staying completely plant based. The low-sodium version allows you to control the salt level while still delivering deep umami flavor.
• White Miso Paste: Miso adds body and complexity to the broth. Its fermented richness deepens the flavor so the soup tastes as if it simmered for hours instead of minutes.
• Chili Crunch Oil: A spoonful of chili crunch oil brings warmth and texture. When the hot water hits the jar, the oil floats through the broth and distributes subtle heat and aromatic spices.
• Coconut Aminos: This soy-free alternative to soy sauce adds gentle sweetness and saltiness. Tamari or soy sauce would also work here.
• Sriracha: A small amount of sriracha provides brightness and a gentle kick. As the soup sits, the heat blooms through the broth.
• Garlic: Adds instant aroma when the boiling water is poured into the jars.
• Red Bell Pepper: Add natural sweetness and color to this vegetable noodle soup. They soften slightly but retain a bit of bite for texture. Any color bell pepper would work here.
• Red Cabbage: Thin slices of cabbage create crunch and vibrant color. They also hold up beautifully in jar soup meal prep, staying fresh for several days in the fridge.
• Carrots: Carrots bring sweetness and a desirable crunch to the soup. A great alternative would be broccoli or brussels sprouts.
• Edamame: Essential plant-based protein and a satisfying bite! Edamame is a great way to add protein and texture with ease.
• Silken Tofu: Firm silken tofu adds gentle creaminess and extra protein. Its delicate texture works beautifully in vegan noodle soup because it absorbs the surrounding broth flavors.
• Green Onions: Add freshness and a subtle onion aroma that lifts the whole soup.
• Edward & Sons Organic Rice Vermicelli: These delicate rice noodles are ideal for mason jar soup mix recipes. They soften quickly when boiling water is added, making them perfect for a quick noodle soup recipe without needing to cook them separately or spend any time simmering.
