Can I can soup?

I made some really yummy beef stew yesterday and I was thinking how much my Great Grandma would like it. I'd like to send her some but packages take 3 days. :( Can I make it and can it? Would it change the texture/flavor in any way? TIA!

Re: Can I can soup?

I just found canningusa.com . It has some recipes for soup and stew and instructions on canning it, so perhaps you could do the same?

I am sure you can....but with meat you need to pressure can it. You can find lots of great instructions/rules on line.

Re: Can I can soup?

My mom canned beef stew and vegetable soup with ground beef all the time. It does need to be pressure canned, though. Canning was a big part of our lives so of course we had more than one. I, on the other hand, can only can things that need to be heated up and sealed. :(

It is very similar to boiling water canning...but you have to have a pressure canner. The instructions are always....a certain time at a certain pressure. Basically it is a HIGHER heat and HIGH pressure to seal it and KILL all the bad stuff.

I have canned (pressure canned) veggie/turkey/rice stews and chili. I LOVE canning! There are few things as rewarding as siting in your living room listening to the "pop,pop" of sealing jars. :P~

Re: Can I can soup?

Are pressure canners expensive?
I have made jelly and that pop sound is exciting! I would just love to have a pantry full of soup to open up when we are feeling sick. We don't do many convenience food bc of allergies so I would love to be able to make my own.

Pressure canners aren't that pricey. I paid less than $50 for mine.
