“Just Add Noodles” Canned Chicken Soup
One of my favorite wintertime lunches is soup. Mostly I make a big pot of whatever leftovers I've got, but the other day I was thinking about chicken noodle soup. That's one thing that sounds good when a body is sick: easy on the stomach and easy on the soul. I thought it would be a good idea to have some in the pantry in case either Dan or I come down with a winter cold. However, noodles don't can well, so the full convenience of canned chicken noodle soup is lost for the home canner. So I made the next best thing, “Just Add Noodles” Chicken Soup.
 |
| Vegetables first. I add the veggies raw, so they aren't overly mushified during the canning process. Here I'm dividing them amongst the jars. |
 |
| The chicken has been heating in the broth and it's added next. By adding the veggies and meat first, I know that the jars have equal amounts. |
 |
| Then the jars are filled with the simmering seasoned chicken broth. |
Processing is 90 minutes at 10 pounds pressure for quart jars.

At lunchtime I add the noodles and cook them in the simmering soup. This actually works better for us, because one quart is just a little shy of filling two meal-size soup bowls.
 |
| Half a dozen jars was a good start. |
What's a favorite wintertime meal for you?

Yep.
I do the just add noodles thing as an extender and to add calories. From the survival point of view noodles are one of the more high calorie per pound dried food and really cheap.
