HAS to be pressure canned! There is NO SAFE WAY to water bath can meats, poultry, fish, etc!!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DONT TRUST EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET!!!
ReplyDeleteWell if that’s the case then why can’t we just water bath can everything but the meat?? Would that be so bad stil?? It would at least stop everyone from asses about the whole thing 😳😳
Deleteyes you can water bath meat safely...3 hours rolling boil. Our ancestors didn't have a pc so how do you think they did it?
ReplyDeletePressure canning has been around longer than you realize. My great-grandmother, born in the 1870s was already using pressure canners in the 1930s.
DeleteTo the person who said to water bath the soup for 3 hours, you are so misinformed. Boiling does not kill botulism. My mother boiled canned beans for 20 minutes and they were like mush. Botulism is one of the 3 deadliest poisons on earth and is not killed at 212 degrees( boiling) , but 250+ degrees.( pressure canning.)Who knows how many Innocents died of botulism from water bathing over the years. I learned this in college microbiology for nursing.
DeleteIt's not about the length of time that something boils...It's the temperature it has to reach to become shelf stable. Your grandma did it for 80 years & never got sick....Either that's a lie & she never told you different. Or she just got lucky with her food preparation.
DeleteHow long can it last?
ReplyDeleteThe noodles don't get mushy?
ReplyDeleteThey do, but no more so than store bought chicken noodle soup. I made this to can but the liquid boiled out because I was helping the venting process along. I used those and my mother (82 yrs old) went nuts over it. She literally asked for it for lunch and supper for 3 straight days and was sad when I told her we had no more. :)
DeleteYou can ,CAN MEAT with a water bath it just takes more time 3-4 hrs. And it is safe if done properly.
ReplyDeleteYou can boil food all day and it does not get above 212 degrees. It takes 140 degrees to kill botulism spores. Make sure you boil your food after opening for 10 minutes to kill any botulism if you didn’t pressure.
DeleteAh.. repose to boil for 10 min to kill botulism’s after opening jar….. this will not kill the toxin if it has formed in the canning…. If the toxin is there no amount of heating will remove it from the food and you eat it, you will be sick
ReplyDeleteWhat is the shelve life.
ReplyDeleteI would can the soup without the noodles and add them when you eat it.
ReplyDeleteMy mom canned stew meat for years and....gosh!....NO ONE DIED, no one got sick.
ReplyDeleteWhen making the soup, it boils and I put it in a bowl to eat.. if it is safe enough to eat at that point why wouldn't it be safe to can at that point?
ReplyDeleteI would make this with a few modifications. One pressure can the chicken in jars by itself. Two, pressure can the vegetables and broth by itself. The third, making to eat, add the meat and vegetables together in the pot and heat to a boil, then add the noodles cooking until done. I'm not risking getting my family sick and/or ruining the food and wasting the time to make a delicious meal.
ReplyDeleteI would not have a good feeling serving this to my family. Do your research about what CANNOT BE CANNED, ie; pasta, flour, cornstarch, eggs, dairy, etc.
ReplyDeletefreeze it
