[@paulatrybus7738]

I made all 4 soups and we love them all!! Regarding your 4 soup idea, lentil, I make a Moroccan lentil soup, if take your current lentil recipe you could replace the Italian seasonings with equal measures of cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne, it is a wonderful soup. I have never canned my version but am thinking it would be fine.

[@growandpreserve]

So glad you like them, Paula! You can certainly change out the seasonings in any of these soups.

[@wendyellis6402]

I have digestive issues if I don’t presoak dried beans. I’ll try these recipes by measuring out the dried beans before soaking, and portion them out. Each year I make my traditional Hopping John, and portioned out my product before it was completely cooked, so I would have some canned for leftovers. Ate a pint last week, and it was so comforting ❤

I've never been much of a bean soup person, but one of the soups I made last year was dehydrated Tuscan Bean Soup, and I absolutely love it! It is very similar to your 1st canned variety. Only a LOT more trouble! I will definitely be using your recipe and canning it from now on. When I made the dehydrated soups last year, I chopped all the vegetables and then dehydrated them. I precooked the white beans and dehydrated them. I layered the beans, vegetables, dehydrated broth, and seasonings in cellophane bags, added moisture absorbers, and then vacuum-sealed the bags. I made "professional-looking" labels on my computer, with instructions. All was needed was water and to simmer 10 minutes. They were shelf-stable for 2 years. I made several varieties and gave them for Christmas gifts. I seriously doubt I'll ever do this again...WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE!!! I'm really excited to can all of your soup recipes, and thank you so much for doing this video!!! You are such an inspiration!

Carter, I recently watched a "one acre homestead" video from 3 years ago, on making homemade vanilla. Her sister showed how to make it, by putting the vodka or rum, in pint jars, with sliced open vanilla beans. She put the lids on and placed 4 jars in her pressure COOKER (with about 1 inch of water and the jars were placed on the wire rack insert). She set the timer for, I think, 20-30 minutes, and once done, she had instant vanilla!!! No waiting 6+ months for the vanilla bean to be infused into the vodka! Have you ever tried that? They said you can make vanilla on 12/23, to give as gifts on 12/25! I think that's brilliant, but have never seen a video on doing that! Maybe you could try it, and make a video on it, for people to see how easy, and cost effective it is.......and it makes terrific gifts! I made 2 quarts of vanilla, several years ago. I use vanilla from 1 quart jar, until it's down to 2/3 full. I then add more rum or vodka and place that jar behind the second jar, to give it time to infuse, while I use vanilla from the second quart! This way I never run out and have to start over with the 6 month wait. I've had my vanilla since 2017 or 2018, and have even given small bottles away as gifts, but I never run out!!!

[@growandpreserve]

Hey, Lisa! I remember that video. Maybe I will do some this year. I'll give it a try first to see how it goes. Thanks for the idea!

On the pumpkin puree it's the density. When you buy it from the manufacturer's with their machines they can get to a higher temperature than we can at home with our stovetop. So it's cook all the way through. But you can still can pumpkin just raw pack in cubes add water ,pressure can it. Make it in a quarter jar, drain it, mash the pumpkin cubes you should have enough puree to equal that what you would be getting out of a can. Hope that helps.

I am really enjoying your videos, but I have a couple suggestions. I’ve been cooking soups and canning for 50 years, I’m 73 years old.

The other thing I do is always wash my canning jars and lids before I use them. I am enjoying your recipes and I will certainly try them soon. Thanks again.

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, Marlyne! I do sort through the beans. I just don't rinse them. My canning jars have just come out of the dishwasher. I do not pre-wash my lids because the usda now tells us that everything is sterilized in the first 10 minutes of processing. The tap water in my area is horrendous. There's no telling how many more contaminants and chemicals I would be adding to the lids.

[@vickihogan8207]

I made all of the soups in your first soup video and the Italian Sausage and White Bean and the Mediterranean Lentil Soup from this second soup video. For supper tonight I chose the Chipotle Beef (from the first video) and my hubby chose the Italian Sausage and White Bean (we actually traded bowls mid-meal because he preferred the Chipotle Beef). Each had overall delicious flavors. But, when I make them again I will cut way back on the salt, if not leaving out altogether and add to taste when I heat them up. The sausage and bacon in the Italian Sausage and Bean were salted and my chicken broth had salt, which I used to thin the soup, so I don't think we'll need/want more salt when I make it again. The heat in the Chipotle Beef was a bit too much for us. The flavor was wonderful but again, I would cut the amount of chipotle and cut way back on the salt. I am thinking I'd rather have less beef in this one and more corn. Can't wait to try the Chicken Corn Chowder, Chicken Chipotle, Beef Stew, and the Mediterranean Lentil. Haven't canned the Split Pea and Ham and Southwestern Black Bean soups yet. But I imagine they will be just as delicious. Thank you for the recipes!

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I remember the gremalata having grated Cheddar and cilantro finely chopped, and maybe some parsley. So delicious!

[@growandpreserve]

That sounds so good, Erika! Don't you hate it when you lose track of an amazing recipe? I have done that more often than I care to admit! Always good to see you. I hope that things are settling down.

[@erikalouwrens3992]

@growandpreserve Thanks for caring Carter! Some of the most beautiful roads will take years to repair.

I hope it comes back as beautiful as ever.@@erikalouwrens3992

I can’t wait to get these on my shelf, they all look amazing

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Blue! Keep me posted if you try them!

[@kayedean6123]

Carter, can you use fresh chopped tomatoes in the black bean soup? We love the white bean Italian soup! Trying the black bean, canning today!

[@growandpreserve]

Woohoo! Fresh chopped tomatoes are fine. Your choice whether or not you choose to peel them first.

[@lorisilva10784]

Looks delicious! Definitely gonna try. I'll probably make homemade beef sausage out of hamburger meat in place of the sausage, and turkey bacon in place of the bacon. Also, new subscriber here!! Thank you soooo much!! Keep up the great work.

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, Lori! Absolutely make changes that suit you!

Thank you. I’ve been wanting to make more beans and lentil ready meals. 🙏

You're welcome, Artist!

Awesome video!! I love your samplers! Please don’t stop doing them. I do the same thing looking at soups sold in stores and copy them to my specifics😂 Please keep them coming!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one looking for inspiration in the grocery store!

Oh, my gosh, I was so excited to see your canner!!!! I have that type also! I am fairly new to canning so I'm trying to learn the ins and outs. Your soups look wonderful. I want to make all of them. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, Betty! I do love the Presto Electric canner. I have had the All American stovetop pressure canner for years, but my first choice now seems to be the Presto Electric. As a fairly new canner, you have absolutely chosen the right canner.

Love this video!! these shelf soups will be so great during the winter! I canned 18 pints of roast beef and 18 pints of chicken breasts this week! Whew!! But I love convenience like you!!

[@growandpreserve]

Good for you on getting your meats canned, Melanie! They will always be a staple in my pantry.

[@pjd2709]

Those jars of soup look yummy, I'll have to try them. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, PJ! Let me know if you try them!

Just found your channel and am so impressed with your style of teaching, recipes, and suggestions that i subscribed. Thank you! Ive not started canning yet, but am eagerly researching and planning! Looking forward to the next group of recipes!!

Welcome, Connie! Glad to have you here!

[@jenniferr2057]

Loving this sereies! And i am going to can butternut squash. I just decided. We can carrot soup! I can ham. And i can bacon. The pea soup would be wonderful with bacon ends too!

[@growandpreserve]

Ooooh! Bacon ends! Yum! So glad you're enjoying the series, Jennifer!

[@jenniferr2057]

@@growandpreserve We located a Gucci butcher. Bacon ends are apparently not Gucci. He sells them for $2.50#.... it's my new secret weapon!

Nice! Is pork belly not Gucci either? I'd love that!@@jenniferr2057

Fantastic! So glad you're enjoying them.

Pork broth would probably be delicious in the one with the Italian sausage

Absolutely!

@@growandpreservethanks for the 2 soup sampler videos. It was an awesome idea and your recipe for the. Is top notch!! Can’t wait to try some of them.

Carter have you tried the slow cooker zucchini soup. I’d love some help figuring out recipe to can in pints. Thank you for all these recipes ❤️

[@growandpreserve]

I haven't. Never even heard of it.

[@thereseavelis1372]

Great video, Carter 🎉. Must get these on my shelves. Does it matter which lentil to use? Green, brown, yellow, black? There are so many! Thanks for such useful content 😊

[@growandpreserve]

I used green lentils, Therese. I don't have much experience (or any canning experience) with the other colors.

You are going to keep me very busy next week!! I’m only missing a few things and I can make all of these. I have a request. I have a recipe for pasta e fagioli and it is my husbands favorite. Here are the ingredients: 1 pound ground beef 1 small onion, diced (1 cup) 1 large carrot, julienned (1 cup) 3 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup) 2 cloves garlic, minced 214.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes 1 15-ounce can red kidney beans (with liquid) 1 15-ounce can great northern beans (with liquid) 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce 1 12-ounce can V-8 juice 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 pound (1/2 pkg.) ditalini pasta Instructions: 1. Brown the ground beef in a large saucepan or pot over medium heat. Drain off most of the fat. 2. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and saute for 10 minutes. 3. Add remaining ingredients, except pasta, and simmer for 1 hour. 4. About 50 minutes into the simmering, cook the pasta in 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of boiling water over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes or just until the pasta is al dente, or slightly tough. Drain. 5. Add the pasta to the large pot of soup. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more and serve. If you ever have time and you try and figure out how to can this. I know the pasta would have to be taken out but that could just be added when hearing it up. I know how you love a challenge and it is really a tasty soup.

[@growandpreserve]

Great, Cindy! Let me know how it goes with the soups! I've printed your recipe. We'll see if I come up with anything worthy!

[@cindyparker9920]

Oh that is fantastic!!! My husband will be thrilled!
