Description

A little prep time on your part will get you 4 quarts of soup that will beat the pants off of any can in the supermarket!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces, weight Bag Of 15-Bean Mix Dry Beans
  • 3 stalks Celery
  • 1 whole Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 pound Smoked Turkey Sausage
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts
  • 29 ounces, weight Canned Diced Tomatoes
  • 8 cups Chicken Broth

Preparation

Chop the veggies and throw them in the crock pot. Cut the sausage into bite-sized pieces and add to the crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours. After the cooking cycle has completed, shred the chicken breasts with two forks and add back to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pack soup into sterilized quart jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Wipe rims and screw on two-piece lids, making them finger-tight. Process in a pressure canner for 75 (for pints) to 90 (for quarts) minutes at 10-11 psi and cool according to your canner’s instructions.

When consuming, you may need to add a bit of chicken broth or water to loosen the soup up.

Makes 4 quarts or 8 pints.

Question about pressure cooker: is it the same as a pressure canner? Can you do the same canning in an electric pressure cooker?

Lov2cook summed it up… if it’s meat, it has to be pressure. My husband and I travel a lot and like to take canned food with us… it’s cheaper than constantly buying ice for a cooler and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t get eaten on that trip.

sorry jgoodman any time meat is in your canning recipe a pressure cooker must be used and even using the cooker, notice the processing time how long it is.
For that reason i freeze my soups in qt bags.

Do you have to use a pressure cooker? Is a hot water bath ok?

Very, very good. It makes a lot so I froze half and had it a couple week later. Will definately make again and again. Adding carrots would be good and part of the spice packet that came with the beans, or even some green chiles but really it has a lot flavor on its own.

My kids are notoriously picky eaters and they both loved this soup, as did my husband and I. It makes a pretty big batch so I intend on freezing the leftovers.
I changed the diced tomatoes to crushed tomatoes, but that was it. Very flavorful, satisfying and super easy to boot. Next time I think I will add the spice packet that came with the beans.
