Mason Jar Instant Noodles - The Girl on Bloor (2025)

Mason jar soup variations

How do you serve mason jar soup?

When you’re ready to enjoy your soup jars, all you have to do is pour some boiling water in the jar until the bouillon cube dissolves and the noodles have cooked. You may need to stick the jar in the microwave for a couple minutes if need be. Dump everything into a bowl then dig in!

What layer do you order the jars in?

When it comes to layering your mason jar soup, add the shredded chicken first, followed by the sauces (so the soy sauce, sriracha and lime juice), then the vegetables, the bouillon cubes and the noodles.

How much boiling water do you add?

Fill the mason jar about 3/4 of the way to the top. You never want to fill it all the way to the top of the lid.

What can you prep ahead of time?

All of the prep work for these mason jar soup lunches can be done in advance. Take the time to cook and shred the meat as well as cut the veggies on the weekend. Pack everything into the jars and you’ll have a stash of healthy lunches ready to go.

What jars should you use?

Mason jars are perfect for this meal prep recipe. The 1L jars will hold plenty of food for lunch. Unlike plastic, glass is completely safe and will not leach chemicals into your food. You can find mason jars everywhere and they are easy to clean. They also work perfectly in the refrigerator. Because they are vertical, you can fit a lot more in a small space. The tall mason jars keep your liquids at the bottom and away from the noodles. There is no chance of soggy ingredients before you are ready to mix it all together.

Storing and reheating

Your mason jar noodles will last in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. If you don’t eat all of your soup, you can stick it back in the fridge for another day or two. Just pop it back in the microwave for a couple minutes to reheat it.

Keep in mind that if you let the soup sit for more than one day after you’ve already added the boiling water and cooked the noodles, the noodles and veggies will get soggy and the soup won’t be as good.

Freezing this recipe

The best way to freeze this mason jar soup is to make it completely, including the boiling water. Then you can cool and freeze it in glass bowls with lids for up to 3 months.

You can freeze anything right in the mason jar too. They are great for all kinds of storage, including in the freezer. To reheat from frozen, simply microwave the soup for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
