Mason Jar Vegetarian Ramen Soup

This Mason Jar Vegetarian Ramen Soup is the perfect meal on the go! Easy to meal prep and full of healthy vegetables and delicious flavors.

Ramen soup is a favorite at my house! It’s so comforting and filling and the whole family loves it.

Since we can’t always go out to eat for ramen, I wanted to create a completely customizable ramen recipe that was healthy, easy, delicious and could be taken to work or lunch on the go.

If you are anything like me, you have a few mason jars sitting around. I love mason jars and can’t help keeping a variety of sizes on hand. I use them to hold fresh flowers, collect loose change in my laundry room, and love using them in the kitchen to store leftover soup and salad dressings.

If you don’t have any mason jars sitting around, you can find them at stores like Target, Walmart, Lowe’s or even most grocery stores. However, you don’t have to use a mason jar for this recipe. You could easily follow this recipe using a bowl or other large container. The world is your oyster.

Perfect to meal prep for weekday lunch!

I love this ramen soup because it’s so easy to meal prep. Which means I can make a few jars at one time to enjoy later during the week. Once it’s prepped, this ramen soup is ready in just 5 minutes and you can’t get much easier than that.

To make the Mason Jar Vegetarian Ramen Soup, simply layer the ingredients (except for the vegetable broth) in the jar. I used a 24 oz jar, which calls for  2 cups of broth and makes a very large bowl of soup. You could also use a 16 oz jar and 1 cup of broth for a more average size bowl of soup.

I put the spices at the bottom of the jar because I find it ensures they evenly distribute into the soup once you add the broth. Then simply layer in your ingredients, placing the ramen noodles towards the top layer since they are already par-boiled and don’t need to steep as long as some of the other ingredients.

It’s important to par-boil your ramen noodles so that they aren’t crunchy when you are ready to serve your soup. I placed them in boiling water for just 2 minutes while meal prepping these jars and they turned out perfect.

This recipe is completely customizable, so add in veggies that you love and you could even add shredded chicken, shrimp or thinly sliced beef instead of going vegetarian. Be sure you cook your meat/chicken/fish before adding to the jar!
