Ok, so this is my second comment. I’m a fairly new subscriber, and just want to commend you on your content. You are doing things that are unique to other content creators, so I’m finding myself at the beginning of a big binge watch! I love the name Carter (it brings to mind the old show Designing Women ♥️), and I have a dog named Izzy! So far, you’ve inspired me to dry pack can potatoes, bacon, and these meals in a jar! You are a wonderful teacher, and your kitchen is beautiful and perfect for the content you’re creating. My kitchen is the size of a postage stamp, and I find myself being overly ambitious regarding how much I can reasonably accomplish🤣. Again, thank you for your creative content. ♥️

[@growandpreserve]

So good to have you here, MB! I'm glad to hear you're finding my approach to stocking the pantry suits you well! Hi to Izzy!

[@reneewatkins2856]

I agree with Lisa, MORE SOUP RECIPES PLEASE. Your site is one of my favorites!!! I just ate the Chicken Corn Chowder and it is EXCELLENT!!! I also made all of the bean ones. I am just starting to eat my way through the meat soups and will work through the bean ones next, to see which ones I will make more of. It is also just my husband and I and I LOVE the small batches and the individual recipes. Perfect for the winter nights that are coming. Great job and thank you sooo much for your hard work.

[@growandpreserve]

Thank you so much, Renee! Glad you love the Chicken Corn Chowder! Good to have you here.

[@brownize92]

Love this! Especially pint versions. Are the actual recipes available somewhere?

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks! They're all listed in the description.@@brownize92

[@s.leeyork3848]

Your method is genius...pure genius. Just line 'em up and put 4 flavors together at once. I can apply this to most all of my canning. Brilliant! Thank you!!

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Lee!

[@bettypierce5323]

Love the soup sampler idea! Looking forward to round two.

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Betty!

[@cbordes1]

What a WONDEFUL idea!!!! They all look so delicious. I’d want to try them all. ❤ Carter, I really appreciate your format of showing viewers the products after they’ve been canned. Not many YT creators do this. Being able to see the products in a bowl is so helpful.

[@growandpreserve]

As a YT viewer, I totally agree. I want to know what something looks like and how it tastes. It's not always possible to show, but I definitely do it when I can.

[@happymama6]

Our oldest started college this year, she isn't impressed with the food.:( I'll be canning a bunch of stuff for her to take back at Thanksgiving. These are on the list, as well as your six sandwich recipes. Thanks for all your great advice and easy to follow recipes for a newbie canner!

[@growandpreserve]

You are most welcome, Mama! She's going to be one happy girl headed back to school with her stash after Thanksgiving!

[@lisagrafton2529]

I've had a dehydrator for probably 10 years, and a pressure canner for over 25 years, and never used them, until I binge watched your videos! I pulled out the dehydrator first, and made fruit leather from Aldi sugar-free applesauce, and the apple taste was so intense, I made some to take to my 3 grandsons in Michigan, who live about 5 hours away from us. I also had my husband pick up some frozen mixed fruit (peaches, pineapple, strawberries, and mango), and I separated each fruit, putting one kind on each tray. I did it with frozen fruit, so I didn't know how it would turn out,, since people online warned against it. It took about 15 hours, but they turned out great! The peaches were my favorite, and my grandsons loved them. I dehydrated some fresh pear peeled slices and peeled apple slices, since those fruits can off our fruit trees, and the skins had some bug damage. (I used the undamaged peels and cores to make pear/vanilla and apple/cinnamon jelly.) The pears, dehydrated, are my favorite of all the fruits I've dehydrated! The flavor is so sweet and the pear flavor so intense, I kept the pint-sized jar for my husband and me!!! As for the pressure canner, I had a half of a pork loin I needed to use, so I cut it into chunks and put in quart-sized jars, with a teaspoon of salt in each one, and poured beef broth over to cover the meat, making sure I de-bubbled. I was nervous, and kept rereading the directions on how to use it, but it was straight forward, since I've watched so many canning videos. I ended up with 3 quarts of pork, for pulled pork sandwiches, and 3 quarts of water, since you shouldn't run a pressure cooker with fewer than 4 jars. I'll likely open one this weekend,to see how it turned out, and to make pulled pork sandwiches. Next time I do this, I may can it in the BBQ sauce or in the SC mustard BBQ sauce, that is my favorite. Since I don't do big batch canning, I will be looking for an electric pressure canner, so I can "set it and forget it", and not worry about being in the kitchen to watch for steam, etc. Thanks for lighting the fire for my enthusiasm of canning! Jams and jellies are my first love, but meals in a jar, sounds promising!

[@growandpreserve]

Lisa, you have really gone after it with gusto! Look how much you’ve accomplished! I’m honored to be part of your journey. 😘

[@SSanf]

@lisagrafton2529 Welcome to our world!

[@erikalouwrens3992]

I love homemade soup, and having samplers is a great idea! Thank you, Carter!

[@growandpreserve]

Thank you, Erika! You are just coming out of soup season. Do you have a favorite SA soup that you can?

[@conniewach7872]

TY for all of this, I will be trying them all.I can live on soup, stew and chili.❤

We've got you covered this Fall and Winter then!

[@lorissashappyhome]

ROTISSERIE!! Why have I never thought of that! Love this! Thanks Carter! 😍

[@feliciabailey9071]

I made 6 pints of the chipotle chicken today! I made a sausage skillet yesterday that the husband scored a 9/10 so now im going to can up 6 pints of those! Recipe: Browned ground sausage Cubed potatoes Onion Pepper relish Tomato trifecta Salt Pepper Garlic powder Onion powder Red pepper flakes Italian seasonioning Milk and cheese to be added later I measure from the heart lol but things were proportioned how one would expect with a soup/chili. Mine turned out almost the consistency of chili.

[@growandpreserve]

Yay for chipotle chicken on the shelf! Your sausage skillet sounds fantastic. I would love to see a picture of it, if you're so inclined. You may email me at [e-mail] when you have the time.

[@silver_threads]

Oooh, thank you for sharing this! I'm gathering recipes for meals-in-a-jar and hope to start on them in a few weeks after my garden canning is complete. These all look delicious. I will probably do them in quarts for us..,.dinner one night and leftovers for someone for lunch the next day. I love the idea of having one night a week when I can just open up a jar for the two of us, slice up some bread or grab some crackers and cheese, and we're good to go! Blessings, Marie

[@growandpreserve]

Wonderful, Marie! I love the idea of your once a week simple, ready to go dinner for two!

[@katet1643]

Carter, i found your soup sampler videos 2 days ago, put all 8 soups together today. Two pints of each for my mom, and a quart for my husband and me. I can't wait to try them! I ḍefinitly vote for a third soup sampler. My second year of canning meals, and third for gardening. Absolutely love what you're doing ... thank you for the time and effort you've invested. I look forward to seeing more of you 😊

[@growandpreserve]

I love that, Kate! Thanks so much for being here!

[@DigitHomesteading]

Well I wasn't hungry before the video but I am now! They all look great! My family loves having homemade soups on the shelves year round. Just like a warm hug when you need it💚💚💚

[@growandpreserve]

There is something about soup, isn't there? So comforting!

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

Awesome video!! Couldn't have come at a better time, thank you, Carter! My elderly dad lives 3 hrs away from me and I try to bring him as many easy or ready to eat foods as I can before winter. Today's project is to can chicken soup in pints...now I'm thinking I also have chuck in freezer, will be adding beef stew to the todo list!! Absolutely love the sampler canning since sometimes I don't have enough for a canner full of this or that.❤😊

[@growandpreserve]

Fantastic, mini! Such a perfect use for the pint size soups/meals in jars. Your dad is a lucky fella!

[@angiehamm1125]

I have been thinking about making meals in a jar for a while but most recipes seemed bland. These look great. Spent my afternoon making these. It was a pleasant experience because it was so organized. This is my second season pressure canning. The electronic canner is a game changer. My jars are processing now. Can't wait to try them!

[@growandpreserve]

Go, Angie! I'm so glad you're trying them. Please keep me posted!

[@femvetusa5263]

I am seriously getting hooked on your recipes

[@growandpreserve]

I'm totally okay with that, femvet! So glad to have you here!

[@donnamullins2089]

Yes, soup sampler is a great idea. All about choices. Oh I love thyme in beef stew. Soups look so delicious in the bowls. Have a great weekend. 97 today with 52% humidity. But the good news my Brown Turkey Fig has set new fruit. Wish I lived close. Take care.

[@growandpreserve]

Ugh, Donna! Not soup season for you yet. Hope it gets there soon! Great news on the figs! I wish you lived close too!

[@Thisisit120]

I was sitting here watching you and thought oh my goodness these would be great recipes to just freeze dry all the ingredients and put them in the jars. Of course you’d have to have a Freezedryer. But this would be some awesome recipe to have freeze-dried meals on the shelves.

[@growandpreserve]

Indeed! I think I am getting a freeze dryer during the Black friday sale. Woohoo!

[@glendawillingham5614]

I just need to go buy more jars!!! And food to make!! Thank you doll!!🥰🤗

[@growandpreserve]

I just bought a few more packs of jars this week. It's been awhile since I bought any, but they seemed much more expensive! Still one of the best investments I can make for my family, but ouch!

[@georgiaolivier4775]

Love your channel! Might consider subbing rutabaga or turnips for potatoes. Both are keto friendly and can even be used as fries since the textures are similar. You are an inspiration and appreciated!

[@growandpreserve]

Ha! Turnips are on my shopping list today for some recipe testing. Stay tuned!

[@lisawoods5056]

Please more soups!!! Feels like fall and love the idea of each family member picking what they prefer. Thank you for these videos and suggestions on food in a jar.

[@growandpreserve]

Thank you, Lisa! I'm working on soup recipes now!

[@wendyellis6402]

I love this idea, Carter. Today I’m puttering around, canning up some corned beef, then onto bone in skin on chicken thighs - and watching canning videos for inspiration ❤

[@growandpreserve]

Glad I was there with you today!

[@helenswanson1403]

I pressure canned both chicken and beef stews. I made chicken pot pie and it works great. I make pie crusts and freeze a bunch. Easy meal.

[@growandpreserve]

Perfect, Helen!

[@user-cm4sy1ct7q]

Another great video. Love all these soups, and would love to see a #2

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

Just recently found your channel, and love your style!! So much so, I have 16 pints of soup in my canner!! 8 each of turkey corn chowder and turkey chipotle soup. I replaced the chicken with turkey, as I had so much roasted and was excited to use it in this manner rather than to freeze it up. Also excited as all the veggies to complete the soups came from my garden!! Thank you for your willingness to share such amazing recipes in order for others to have shelf stable meal items readily available. So appreciate!!

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, Sandra! You jumped right in, didn't you? Awesome! I bet both of those are great with turkey. Keep me posted.

[@JaymeCGraham]

Love this idea! I’ve been trying to can more “meals” vs “ingredients” from what our family grows.

[@growandpreserve]

Great, Jayme! It is a bit of a mindset shift, but for me, it is so worth it. I really find that my pantry doesn't feel well-rounded unless I have single ingredients, meals in jars and condiments/flavor additions.

Oh my goodness Carter! Just the video of instructions I've been waiting for ❤ Over here in Northern Ireland it's hard to get good advice/tutorials on canning, which i started a few months back. So far it's been the usual vegetable canning to get me going. Now i can make proper chunky soups, yay! I made the "your choice" soup and didn't like that i had to add to thicken it up. This will be a game changer for me. Thank you so much xx

Another talk with great insights and thoughts. And encouragement. I'll sign any petition to have Carter declared to be a national treasure! And an example of using frozen bagged tomatoes as I have done here. (mostly due to .. dear God I have a lot of tomatoes, what can I do to save them? I have no time to think.) There's a tear in the corner of my eye. There is hope. (Possibly I'm sounding a little melodramatic. Sorry.) Thank you!

Hi Carter,I've been watching you for a long time. To reduce the fats in your soup, have you tried partial searing your beef before putting it in your jars. I let my beef cool before adding it to the jars. I had good results doing it this way. Keep up with a great channel.

Welcome, Colleen!

I use turnips as a substitute for potatoes. Can’t tell the difference. I am on a low carb lifestyle. Thinking about canning. I use to can Salmon with my grandparents on the Klamath and pick blackberries. You’re inspiration

[@growandpreserve]

Hey, Tom. Do you can with turnips as well? Any tips you could share? I have never canned them.

[@vickiiluvboxers4191]

Hi Carter, I will be trying a couple of these recipes. Thank you! ♥

[@growandpreserve]

Wonderful, Vicki!

[@femvetusa5263]

I so appreciate the huge amount of work you put into this.

[@growandpreserve]

Thank you so much! Labor of love, for sure!

[@kbarb1000]

Im going on a road trip in a couple of months. Im canning up beef stew and looking for other ideas. It is such a hoot to have good meals that can be eaten hot or cold, no refrigeration, no shopping, no worries....thank you for the great recipes

[@growandpreserve]

Perfect for a road trip! I use them for that purpose as well. Eating out is just not what it's cracked up to be!

[@tinatippin5705]

Thank you. Very informative. You are such a good teacher! I learn visually the best and you make it so clear. Thank you for the recipes as well.

[@growandpreserve]

You are so welcome!

[@57CHEVYCHICK]

Wonderful video! Can't wait to make these! I just started canning last yr at 72 ! Had never done anything before. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. ❤

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome, 57Chevy! So glad to have you here. How exciting to have just started canning recently. You have so much fun and production ahead of you!

[@nanamurf9430]

Can’t wait to try these recipes. I love the sampler idea. They all look so delicious and now I’m craving soup 🤣

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks! Sounds like you need to make some soup!

[@charlaster9164]

You are amazing I love the way you show results. I'm new at this and can not wait to try all your recipes. Thank you.

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Char! Glad to have you here!

[@tabitha619]

[@growandpreserve]

What a nice idea, Tabitha!

[@susantester895]

Thanks for the code on the Nakano knives. Mine came yesterday. They are gorgeous, feel great in my hand, and cut beautifully!

[@growandpreserve]

Fantastic, Susan! I love mine. So glad you are happy!

[@colleenmengel1337]

Can't wait to try these! I love the idea of having homemade meals on the shelf! These look wonderful - and I enjoy your presentation, careful preparation and detailed directions and hints. Thank you!

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks so much, Colleen!

[@bettypowell1432]

Loved it. Love soup.

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Betty!

[@SalLeeHolland]

I love the idea of samplers! Bring it on! I do make my own soup, but like the thought of samplers.

[@growandpreserve]

Great, Sal! I still make big batches of soup throughout the Winter, but these definitely earn their shelf space when I don't have the time or interest in cooking.

[@SalLeeHolland]

@@growandpreserve I also do that, but nice to have little ones also! Today, I ventured out and made Horseradish! Yes I did it outside until I jarred it up and put it in the steamer canner (water bath). I did 8 little jars and I saved the left over juice and canned that too. Have you ever shown your canning room on videos? If so I missed that. Some people don't like to show that part, and that' ok. Keep canning and showing us how you used things you have canned up for meals! I am trying to learn how to mix my own spices now. Greetings from Western, N.Y.

[@growandpreserve]

Hey, Sal! I love horseradish! I have done a couple of tours of the canning pantry. The first was last November: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTFYmSPorCZZ8U. I am in the process of planning the tour for this November. Look for it in the next 2-3 weeks.@@SalLeeHolland

[@alizaterrell7607]

What an awesome, in depth video. I would love to see more soup "samplers".

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks so much! I'm working on the next Soup Sampler now.

[@SandrinaN]

Yes to soup sampler two!

[@growandpreserve]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3elc3-PjtmJf9k

[@ammiedoering4205]

A great way to taste test a new recipe before canning a large batch.

[@growandpreserve]

That's what I was hoping!

[@user-eh5ps5ib2l]

Thank you for the breakdown. Love how you shared the taste and how you can improve the taste. I am a beginner but I love canning. Thank you so much for sharing and recipes in the jars. You will be my go to.

[@growandpreserve]

Welcome! So glad to have you here.

[@kathyzdrill7300]

Love these soup sampler videos, I know you said you had 3 more soups...would love for you to do another one! Can't wait to try these!

[@growandpreserve]

Thanks, Kathy!
