This is what granny would have called “back burner soup”. Looks amazing. Thanks for the serving suggestions!

[@raydeenjaques2048]

Thank you for your efforts and participation in canuary. What I learned from this demonstration is that I am putting too much ‘solid’ in my jars. I need to remember no more than half full and finish up with an equal amount of liquid. Bing💡the light went on!☺️ I also appreciate your link to Healthy Canning.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I had never heard of the “anything” soup recipe! (I know, shocker!) So I just got done searching for it. VERY cool! I know what I am going to be doing!

[@HannahMattox]

I have honestly never cared much for the process of canning, but then I found you guys and it's totally cool watching you doing it!

[@monazuniga6499]

I love northern beans with ham so thank you for sharing your recipe to can. Soo good to can and just open a jar for dinner and make a pan of cornbread with some sweet tea....soo delicious.

[@candacethompson2521]

Rachel, I never precook my beans, anymore. They are beautiful and not at all mushy. Pints = 75 min. Quarts =90 min.

[@jenniferguenthner6334]

Same!

[@1870s]

Soup canning has different time in my ball book 60 mins pints and 75 quarts

[@candacethompson2521]

@@1870s I did read that, if half full of solids, half liquids. I learn something every day. Thanks

[@rhondajo3]

Ok, now I want to make some white beans! I soak them overnight, drain, rinse, add new water. I use a ham steak, (if you get a ham steak with the bone, do add the bone!), cut into pieces, but you can use 2 or 2 slices of bacon or a ham hock. Add a large onion, 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, a diced potato, a sliced carrot, if I have it, a little oregano, basil and bay leaves. I also add about a half of a small can of tomato sauce, and pepper. Oh my so yummy! Your soup sounds wonderful!

[@kathygomez99]

I am addicted to all your canning / kitchen videos! Thank you!

[@monana8706]

We love Ham and Beans all year long. But, we were raised on Pinto Beans, so, that's what is in my beans😊. My Mom made a batch of Ham and Beans with northern beans years ago and we all refused to eat them (just until we got real hungry -- not the greatest flavor for breakfast😅). Yours do look wonderful. May have to give them another try...

[@lethaharris1608]

We have 7 in our family and I can't wait to try this . So helpful!! Thank you for your videos!!!

[@carriem7832]

I take my dehydrated veggies …..jalapeños, onions, celery, shredded carrots, mini peppers and add it to each jar then put my beans and chicken broth in….makes a spicy base soup for a dinner…while warming up add cooked rice or noodles and meat and you have a fast meal. I cook the rice and noodles and package enough for a few meals to have on hand in the beginning of the week. Adding this base soup over a baked potato, taco or chili seasonings and chopped tomatoes, sour cream makes a great dinner also.

[@GrammaDebsStorytime]

I made bean soup in the instant pot yesterday with the leftover ham bone from New Year's dinner. It was my first time cooking with dry beans in the instant pot. It turned out really good! The ham was so tender and flavorful. I think cooking the ham bone in the soup makes the flavor so much better! I will freeze some of it for later. Next time I will make a BIG pot in my roaster and can it up...what a time & money saver to have it ready to heat up and serve... Thanks for sharing! 😍

[@davidklein8426]

Aka Marcia Klein, love love soup all year round here in MI. Really appreciate your reminder to only fill jars half full with solids & then fill with broth. Thank you. Love these Canuary videos.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

That looks so good Rachel. I canned all my soups a few months ago. I canned, white bean, black bean, stuffed pepper, stuff cabbage and chicken soup. It's just me so I did 4 qts each except the chicken soup I did 4 qts plus 4 pts. I have already had some and they were amazing.

[@jenniferr2057]

Love you name, FYI. Where'd you get the stuffed cabbage recipe?

[@vickiey4561]

I love canning because it is usually a lot cheaper and most definitely tastier! Many times I will add up the cost of a meal from my home canned foods and figure out the cost per serving. It makes the hard, long day of canning that much more worthwhile! I am teaching my daughters to can and I am so thrilled that they are ready to learn! I canned my three bean soup recipe and it is a huge hit! I also can all types of dried beans because I do not like the taste of processed beans, they taste like metal to me. I can all year as well. I canned chicken yesterday and today I filled my dehydrator with cinnamon apple slices. I really enjoy your videos. By the way I also live in MI😊

I compared my friends 1 jar ($4) of her favorite chicken soup, to my home jarred version. She was amazed at the savings (+ no preservatives).

[@ingridsimmons187]

I love your videos and am canning right along with you. One question though, how do you keep your white beans from turning to mush when you can. I've been using great northern but maybe I need a different variety?

[@vickimartin6083]

Luv your videos I want to try soup but I am afraid of canning meat yet I don't trust myself enough to pressure can them but one day I will try

[@oldtimerlee8820]

The basic principles are the same for pressure canning meats and vegetables. As a general rule, each vegetable type will have some specific preparation guidelines. It's the same with meats types. With all of these, the variable is altitude and processing times. Once the food is prepped & jars are filled, processing sequence is the same. If you can process plain water, using chicken broth instructions, you can also can meat! For anything you can, fruits, vegetables, meats, combinations of same, just follow the prep guidelines, general processing guidelines, and the specific pressure and time for your altitude, you will be fine. Once the canner is loaded there's no difference between processing beans and venison burgers. They require the same processing steps, pressure and times, based on your altitude. In fact.... In my pressure canner I can process a canner load of 9 pints of pinto beans and 9 pints of stew meat at the same time. The only material difference is the prep work for each before I load the canner. Hope these words will give you encouragement to put protein and meat stocks on your pantry shelf. You'll smile when you see those jars filled with "heat & eat".

[@parnellbeth]

I make a version of this soup but don't pre cook anything. I know the jar 1/4 full of unsoaked beans makes a full jar so I do slightly less then add the veg and broth and process everything form raw. Less time and mess for me.

[@cynthiamullin661]

:) Nope, if you follow your cancer's direction book you will NEVER have a problem. You can do this!!!!

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Modern canners have a safely release plug /valve or other mechanisms that prevent that from happening. Next, the regulators on modern canners release steam automatically, when the pressure exceeds a specific limit. If that isn't enough, that's when the safety release plug will "blow" instead of the whole lid. They also have mechanisms that lock the lid in place. Presto canners use one style, All American, another. If you follow the usage guidelines of your model canner and NEVER leave it unattended you'll be fine. FWIW, I've been canning since the early 1970's and have never had this even come close to being an issue. Never blown a safety release plug. Go ahead and get your canner. To learn how to use it, follow the instructions in your canner manual to can some plain water, using meat broth guidelines. That will give you hands on experience without having to do any food prep work. Use the water for your emergency water storage, as sterile water for first aid, and/or to fill your canner when you can food, or water plants. It doesn't go to waste. I'm sure your comfort level will go up considerably when those jars of canned water come out of your canner!

Lol which wasn't much bc out of season then everytime asked for apple cider vinegar and distilled lol. And the reason didnt run out was mamawlou gave me all her canning stuff she had the good old ball lids not sure tight. This year am not sure still hadnt received the order from lehams got partial of it. Luckily so far been ordering things early enough so we shall see how the rest year goes.
