canning soup

Joyful Mommy · 09-25-2008, 06:59 PM

Can I just can my typical soup recipes in a pressure canner (if I get my hands on one...), or do I need to follow a special recipe? My friend who owns a pressure canner says I need to follow a proper recipe for canning soup, but I was just planning on making my usual soups (I can tell you the ingredients in them, if it matters...) and then canning them...

from what I've looked up, it seems like vegetables are good, but pasta, milk, etc. is a no - which is fine, because those things aren't in my soups. BUT one of my soup recipes contains peanut butter (I always use the natural, just-peanuts kind). would that work for canning?

I've canned from recipes and my own concoctions (the chili worked great!). I read one recipe where you add the milk while you are heating the base to serve. I think the peanut butter would be fine. I seem to recall reading that all bones should be removed from broths or canned meat. I love the convenience of canned soups but haven't done it for awhile.

No milk or pasta like you mentioned. The pasta gets too mushy and milk will go bad and ruin your soup. I can my usual recipes for soup, but most of mine are just a standard meat stock or vegetable stock base. I don't think peanut butter would be a problem, provided it's the natural kind.

Blessings,
Kelly

thanks for your advice! Now, if I could track down a pressure canner... they're impossible to find around here!
