Add 2 eggs and beat on medium until well combined.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in contents of jar just until combined.

The Poem:
Put on paper and give with items in a mug ( Use a fun font and a snoman graphic)

Was told you've been real good this year
Always glad to hear it
With freezing weather drawing near
You'll need to warm the spirit
So here's a little Snowman Soup
Complete with stirring stick
Add hot water, sip it slow
It's sure to do the trick!
