This was a great dish. The children loved it as well as the hubby!! Thanks!

Looks really good with my modifications in my recipe note: as follows: watch out for msg--oh, well, couldn't find anything msg-free... I'm trying 250ml jars (very cute) with 4 servings of dry soup mix in each... omit ground beef instructions and put all pasta in top baggie to be set aside until soup almost done. simmer 45, add pasta, simmer another 10. nummy!

This will be a part of our gift giving again this Christmas. I customised it for my husband's men's bible study partners last year and remained it Brotherly Love soup. It made a great gift. Try processing dried tomatos with the seasoning in a food processor. The resulting seasoning mix can be pressed into a circular cake and used as a layer in the jar. This year I plan to further modify the seasoning mix to include freeze-dried refried beans and "tex/mex-ify" the herb blend. I'll add dehydrated corn and black beans to the dried lentils etc. My hope is to turn out a southwest chili-style version and rename the outcome Sopa Agape Noche Buena (Holy night brotherly love soup) or something like that.

I have made this soup and presented as gifts for many years. It is always a great hit!

I received this jar and just made it. It was so good that I was hoping to find the recipe and there it was on my favorite website allrecipes.com. I added carrots and celery (what I had in the frig). It tasted great!

This is a great, easy recipe. I gave it to family and friends for the holidays. I made it first to try and it was great... it made a lot!! I didn't add meat. I also left out the macaroni, and only added the tri-color pasta at the end. It was easy and fun to put the jars together (I put the pasta in colored saran-wrap), and so far, everyone has said they loved it! My brother said he added in a jar of canned tomatoes, which he said was great. I have a couple left still from the holidays, which I plan to use myself. Great recipe :)

This is a perfect gift for my little brother and his new wife. They just moved in to their first apartment and a quick easy meal is a great gift for them as they learn their way around their kitchen.

i made these for christmas last year and everyone loved it!

I recevied this as a bridal shower favor. It was pretty and cute but only tasted okay. By the time the beans were cooked the pasta was mushy. So next time, I would add the pasta in the last few minutes of cooking- which takes away for the appeal of everything being in one jar.

My children and other children we had as guests absolutely loved this recipe! And they don't like beans much! Our family and other people liked it a lot too. We make it without meat.

This soup was excellent! I used left-over roast cut into bite size pieces. The only drawback was that the soup turned a little green because of the split peas after setting on the stove awhile. Otherwise, the soup was delicious, not too salty for us!

Good recipe, unfortunate name.

Such a great gift idea and it makes a Sunday afternoon meal in a jiffy! Just add whatever you have in the fridge plus a few basic items and you have dinner!

Gave this soup mix to my newly-wed sister. She said it came out a little like Hamburger Helper. Might suggest a little more water for next time.

I enjoyed making and giving this soup mix. It makes a great, coloful gift and from what I hear, it tastes pretty good too!

While I have yet to taste this soup, it turned out really well in the jar. It's going to make a great gift. It was fun to make, easy to follow the directions, and LOOKS AWSOME!
