Canning and preserving food is in full swing these hot summer days. Preserving food for use in the winter months is so rewarding. Canned soups make a quick tasty meal and best of all you know exactly what is in it because you made it. I used bone broth that I made from beef bones to can this soup which is an added bonus in nutrients.

Pressure can at 10 psi for 30 minutes. 7 quarts.

Would a 5 qt Dutch oven work in place of a large kettle? Do you have an approximate idea of how many regular size onions would make up 12 cups sliced? Thanks in advance, looks yummy!
I would say 8-10 onions…it just depends on how big they are. You can use a Dutch Oven.
Need to make alcohol free, do.i leave out or do you suggest a replacement?
You can replace the red wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar.
Once the wine is cooked it is alcohol free I don’t like it without its not the same
How long does this stay good on the shelf
I have kept them jars for 2 years.
