I dont put carrots in my potato soup.. i do bacon & onion & celery.. then add dumplings later
Do you soak your potatoes in cold water, to get a lot of starch out, to prevent your cans of soup from getting starchy?
Never thought of adding carrots to potato soup – hmmm – may have to try this with some of my potatoes awaiting canning.
The tradition at the restaurant I worked at was Potato soup on thursday and Clam chowder on Friday. Don't know that I'd add carrots fo the meal starter if I was heading that direction.
Suppa Toscano soup, clam chowder. Ham and potato, kielbasa and potato . . .
Sounds awesome! I have both potato chunks & fries canned up. Now I`ll be adding some tater soup to my soup section! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness. Now I want potato soup. Love this.❤
Hey Rachel, great soup idea it uses many of the items you are not sure how to can all by themselves. I recently found a recipe for using green tomatoes. I found a few recipes for green tomato curry. I took all the best ingredients from each and the best cooking techniques step by step and came up with my own ingredient list, spice mix list and my own methods. My wife said it was a first time hit don't change a thing. This is rare because she is picky. Usually it takes two or three tries!! I did make enough for supper two nights and then 9 quarts which I canned in the pressure cooker. Now it is ready for a fast supper some meat and rice our and serve (9) times. This is in part thanks to watching you with the giant cooker I bought 2 of them at goodwill for $5 each they were barely used musta been a wedding present for some folks that do not cook or have small families. Thanks for the video today. God bless y'all take care.
I really have to know how you can manage to do all of this canning with your sleeves down?!?! Mine would be a wreck 🤣🤣 love your videos 💛
This has nothing to do with your potatoes. I made your roasted tomato soup todand I believe I feel the jar is up to a one inch space 3 of my lids popped off in the can you tell me what the head space was for that? Please, thank you. Going to try your potato soup next.
Whenever I have broth left over from something I've canned, I freeze it in an ice cube tray then pop the cubes into a ziplock freezer bag. I'm going to cook with it, and so far my best has been French onion soup broth.
could add smoked sausage and dill and serve with sour cream and that would be good
Love this , I use instant potatoes to thicken my potatoes soup, 🥰
Oh Grammy don't worry about us..go read that book😂❤
I have been wondering how I could get away with canning my potato soup and oh my gosh this is going to happen it is so close to my recipe and for my thickener I add potato flakes so the cream and potato flakes and ham will get added after its canned but I have everything in my pantry minus the potatoes right now I'm so excited. Thank you!
Thank you.
I have been using your Cowboy Candy recipe. And saved the juice – canned a quart. Is the canned liquid good for the new batch of peppers? Or should I start from scratch for the liquid.
Thanks for sharing your recipe! I was wondering, how did you determine "onion" as the item requiring longest process time (my presto manual doesn't even list onion, nor could I find it under vegetables on the NCHFP website)? I presume you are looking up each soup item and the item with the longest processing time is the time you use for your soup? So even though potato was the most abundant veg in this soup, you don't use the processing time for potato, you use the time for the veg requiring the longest processing time. Am I understanding that correct? Thanks so much, I just found your channel and can't wait to check out other videos!!
Random question: do you guys ever hear from Dan?
Yet again I am inspired! Thank you Rachel!
I love the chicken pot pie idea. Totally going to do this and give some to my daughter who just moved out on her own
Hi Rachel nice recipe. I'm going to print this one and make with Mike. We will cut it in half. Blessing to your family. Rochelle
Husband's! 😂😂😂
Great video. I've wondered how to can up potato soup. Don't add the cream, duh 😂
Question! Rachel, you said the ingredient with the highest cooking time was the onions, but I saw you adding chicken broth. Is not the broth the one with the highest timing? I'm trying to create my own recipes, too, but normally I use the broth as my highest time ingredient. Please explain. Thank you!!!
