Cuppa Noodle Soup Mason Jar Meal
Mason Jar Meals are the perfect solution to lunch-packing boredom. They offer quick healthy meals for lunch, on the go, or a busy weeknight. You can prep a bunch of meals at once and your fridge will be stocked with delicious meals all week long.
Robin Joss, owner of Big Red Kitchen introduced us to Mason Jar Meals a few years ago. Robin’s blog contains hundreds of family-friendly Mason Jar Meal ideas & recipes
There are a lot of reasons we love Mason Jar Meals, but these top the list:
- Lunch packing is suddenly a pleasant experience!
- Mason jars are dishwasher safe, reusable, and they make your food look yummy!
- Portion control is easy to manage.
- No more mismatched plastic containers that overtake your kitchen cabinet.
- Food waste is reduced when you can see exactly what’s in your fridge.

A big thanks to Robin for sharing some really great recipes at the PA Farm Show. We are featuring the two Cuppa Noodle Soup recipes below, and Robin is sharing the recipe for a Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Salad over on her blog. 
Chicken Cuppa Noodles – from Robin Joss, Big Red Kitchen
For each 1 pint/.5 liter jar you will need:
2 sheets of ramen noodles, each the size of a deck of cards. Do not break them up
1/3 cup roasted chicken, diced. Tip: 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs will fill 6 jars. Or to save time, use a rotisserie chicken.
1/3 cup mixed frozen vegetables – carrots, green beans, peas, and corn
1/4 tsp. celery salt
1/4 tsp. dried parsley flakes or 2 tsp. fresh
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Layer the ingredients in pint jars in the order above. Screw the lids on and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 1 month. When you are ready to eat the soup, fill the jar with cold water to the base of the neck of the jar. Microwave on high heat for 2.5 minutes. Cover and let rest 2 minutes. Stir and eat. Caution, these are hot! TIP: Slip the jar into a cozy to protect your hands from the hot jar.
Asian Cuppa Noodles – from Robin Joss, Big Red Kitchen
For each 1 pint/.5 liter jar you will need:
Angel hair rice noodles the size of 2 decks of cards. Using a pair of scissors is the easiest way to cut the noodles the right size.
1/3 cup-roasted chicken, diced. Tip: 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs will fill 6 jars. Or to save time, use a rotisserie chicken.
1 tbsp. sliced green onions – greens only
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/8 tsp. toasted sesame oil – always store in fridge
1/4 tsp. ginger powder, or 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. sriracha
*salt to taste
Layer the ingredients in pint jars in the order above. Screw the lids on and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 1 month. When you are ready to make, fill the jar with cold water to the base of the neck of the jar. Microwave on high heat for 2.5 minutes. Cover and let rest 2 minutes. Stir and eat. Caution, these are hot! TIP: Slip the jar into a cozy to protect your hands from the hot jar.
If you like a little crunch with your soup, use a BNTO to pack some crackers inside the jar. The BNTO sits right inside the jar keeping your crackers nice and crispy. Before you add water to the soup, just remove the BNTO.
Remember to use glass safely:
Do not pour boiling water in a cold or frozen jar.
Do not freeze with water in jars.

Love food in jars and these variations look so good!!
I’ll make all both of the cup-of-noodle soups!
Asian Cuppa Noodles
I love storing things in my empty canning jars (mixes, paperclips, nails, etc.) and making salads in them and baking mini pies in them to take to work. This would be so wonderful! Have never seen the BNTOs before – how absolutely wonderful!
I think I’d like the Asian noodles. We love the combo of soy sauce and sesame oil (actually combined with rice vinegar, too) so this sounds like something my family would enjoy.
Going to have to try that Asian noodles recipe! Sounds delicious
Love the BNTO’s!
Chicken noodle!
I have enjoyed BRK’s mason jar recipes for a while 🙂 They are awesome! I will probably start making these cuppas in place of regular ramen packs. Thanks for the recipes.
Loved seeing Fillmore at the Pa farm show, and even better was getting a new cookbook. I can’t wait to try the recipes!
Definitely the chicken cuppa noodle. My daughter loves noodles and would love this recipe!
I am always taking things to work in my jars and everyone calls me the jar lady!
I can think of a lot of uses for these jars!
Asian cuppa noodle!
I absolutely love the quality of the bento- I have to admit that besides storing my tuna salad in one and salad on the bottom. I have used these for crafting as well. I take my projects along with me all contained in this set up. Brads in the top and material strips in the bottom. Nothing spills and it stands upright- and easy to pack up and go. Thanks for the great recipes!!!!!
Many of the recipes look awesome, so many to choose from and so many courses. I would go with the Chicken Cordon Bleu and finish the night of with Peanut Butter Pies!
I love that the jars are ego friendly and perfect for lunches! The Asian noodles recipe looks awesome.
I’ll try the Asian noodles first since I always have those ingredients on hand.
I’d like to try both!
The Asian one sounds good!

Both recipes sound delicious, but with all this snow, the soup might come first! 🙂
definitely the sweet potato and chickpea salad!
The Asian Cuppa Noodles
I’ll do the chicken noodle, and I’ll add some dehydrated onion, garlic, and dehydrated veggies, and make myself and my Hubby a quilted cozy, because I LOVE this whole idea so much!

I am going to try the Asian Cuppa Noodles but going to look for more recipes!
Chicken Cuppa Noodles!
I do prepare meals in jars, and even baked desserts in jars. We’re especially fond of my sugar free pies in half-pints! To look further down the weather-laden road here in Florida, we have to have supplies for hurricane season, and I now have a few, but will soon have many more, dehydrated meals in jars to use in an emergency. They also make excellent fare for those days when we’ve had to be gone all day but don’t want to eat out. Even if the power goes out, I have a little alcohol-burning camp stove that I can heat water on and give us a hot, comforting meal. I dehydrate food year ’round, and it is easy to pack several vegetables into some Ramen packets or my own dry chicken noodle soup. I am thinking about offering a short course to my fellow retirement community residents in this method of feeding oneself and others who need a little help from time to time. To some it is convenience food; to those in need, it is life-saving nutrition in an easy-to-prepare container.
