home canned chicken noodle soup

[nmred]

My daughter LOVES campbell's chicken noodle soup! She would eat it three times a day if she could. Does anyone have a recipe for home canned that would taste the same?

My DD was the same way until I started making our soup and now she won't touch the canned junk. This is what I use:

2 quarts of chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 medium onion diced
1/2 pound chicken chunks(more or less)
1 pkg noodles(I use spaghetti noodles)

I just cook my chicken down, debone it, add the spices to the stock, add the chicken back in and let it cook about 5 minutes at a rolling boil, then add noodles and cook until the noodles are done.

My recipe is similar to WBF's, except that I add diced carrots and Rosemary.

Can it without the noodles, add them when you cook it after you open the jar or you'll get mush

Fettuccine, if you break it up, will give you the flat noodle look she's used too.

Cool! Thanks, everyone. Now to go make soup....

I canned beef stew the other day and it got me thinking about chicken-noodle soup. The only reason I haven't made it yet is because I wasn't sure what to do about the noodles. Keeping them separate makes sense. Maybe I'll measure them out, break them into the right size pieces, bag them, and tape it to the jar.

do you pressure can the soup or use the bath method?

 

[SSDreamin]

Yay! I can answer that question!

Because there is meat, it must be pressure canned.

To be even more specific, anything that is not a "high-acid" food like fruit/tomatoes or pickles needs to be pressure-canned

Always consult a current canning book like the Ball Blue Book or Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving OR their websites (Ball = www.freshpreserving.com and Bernardin = www.bernardin.ca) for specifics and processing times.

Sounds like a great plan
