Hi Achternaam,

As the weather turns, our meals transition as well, focusing on the warming comfort foods of fall and winter. That means a lot of soups too!

Did you know you can make & pressure can your own homemade chicken soup? You can't use noodles, because those aren't safe for canning (plus, they'd turn out mushy anyway), BUT you can still can the chicken, broth, and vegetables! Just add the noodles when you open the jar and heat it for serving. :)
