@Peckadoodle You need to write your recipe down. My Taco Stew includes hominy, diced tomatoes, black beans,and Rotel tomatoes. It might be time to have that again. The best thing about it is that it freezes well!!

You did good! 30 pints of chicken soup! It sure will be good this winter. It's hard to beat home grown chicken.

Funny... Yins are liking this post as I was sitting here eating a bowl of this chicken soup with crushed salteens. I must say it's really good and I know it's also good for me too

Simple...just start with well seasoned chicken or poultry stock. Perfect for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Add diced tomatoes and the 5 C's (cabbage, carrots, corn, cumin and coriander). I add pasta after the soup gets bubbling, but pasta is optional. Top with taco chips.

That soup looks good!
My favorite sound from the kitchen right now is the ping of a jar sealing, lol!
In a couple of weeks I will be butchering my cornish cross chickens. I plan to can Chicken 'N Dumpling and Chicken Stew bases along with the pints of dark meat and quarts of broth. So nice to have handy meals for the winter. Nothing beats getting home after work and having Chicken 'N dumplings for supper. My recipe takes almost 3 hours from scratch, but once it is canned, it is 15 minutes of prep for the dumplings and simmer for 1/2 hour while I do chores.

I always use a clean cloth dipped in vinegar to wipe the rim of the jars before putting on the lid. Vinegar will cut any fats, grease, etc. that gets on the rim. I like to hedge my bet to make sure everything seals. Just a habit I got in from following the Ball Canning recipes when I first started canning.

I use the vinegar to wipe the rim on tuna jars as well to cut the fat.

You're almost inspiring me to can up some soups. Maybe after all this busy stuff is done here.

I made chicken salad sandwiches tonight from my canned chicken.

Chicken salad is awesome but turkey salad is awesomer. I think that's a word anyways.

That looks great so far!
