Curried Lentil Soup in a Jar

Tis the season to start thinking Christmas and Christmas parties, treats and hostess gifts.  I always have the urge to DIY this time of year, be it food or crafting, it's gonna happen.  This year I opted for flavoured booze and soup in a jar.  Food and booze.  That's right....Food.  Booze.  

Anyhow, this soup is stupid easy, cheap and pretty darn delish.  Gorgeous in a jar and it allows the giftee to make a super simple meal. Delicious with added veg or on it's own. I've loosely adapted this from a Good Housekeeping recipe.  I don't usually add anything to mine and I puree it at the end.  Feel free to add extra veggies to yours.
