Canning Homemade Soups

Thank you Stacy Erickson


I *LOVE* canning chicken vegetable soup. Layer any and all veggies you would like in the soup in the jar, along with a bouillon cube and some cut up chicken, pour hot water over it (or broth in place of the bouillon cube if you are a purist...I chose to cheat until I knew the recipe well) and pressure can for 90 minutes. It looks really pretty in the jar if you do it in varying colors, like with the carrots on the bottom, then celery, then onion, then peas or green beans, then corn. It makes it fun! You can do a vegetable soup about the same way, just change up what veggies you use. My vegetable soups all have tomato in them, and I do use summer squash and zucchini in them as well.
