10-Spice Mix Gift Jars
By
This 10-Spice mix takes just a few minutes to throw together, and it can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, pastas, potatoes, salad dressings, and more! I love using it in my 10-Spice Vegetable Soup with Cashew Cream (also see: page 137, The Oh She Glows Cookbook) which is one of my most loved soups of all-time (and a reader favourite, too!) These spice jars make a quick and easy holiday gift that won't set you back much money. Just pair the spice mix with the soup recipe or, if they don't have it, The Oh She Glows Cookbook with the page bookmarked.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups smoked paprika
- 1 cup garlic powder
- 1 cup dried oregano
- 1 cup onion powder
- 1 cup dried basil
- 2/3 cup dried thyme
- 1/2 cup ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup white pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup cayenne pepper
Directions:
- Gather 8-9 (3/4 cup/175 ml capacity) glass jars.
- Add all of the spices into an extra-large bowl (I used a huge Caesar salad bowl) for easier mixing.
- Whisk together all of the spices until thoroughly combined. It takes a while to mix it all together, but keep going until you don’t see any clumps or patches of spice.
- Divide the spice mix between small jars using a funnel.
- Secure lid, tag, and ribbon on each jar.
- Print off the 10-Spice Vegetable Soup recipe and give the recipe (or The Oh She Glows Cookbook) with the jar for a fun gift! Shake the jar before each use.
1) To make the soup: If the gift recipient doesn’t have a high powered blender such as a Vitamix (which can get the cashew cream in the soup very smooth), I recommend making a note for them that they can substitute 3/4 cup of cashews for 1/2 cup of raw cashew butter. It’ll blend much easier.
2) I bought my spices in bulk at a bulk food store called Bulk Barn. I also found the jars there too. You can also find small jars for a good price at the Dollarstore.
