Cold Canning or Jarring Soup
I have been doing this for some time now. I make a big batch of soup and I know it won't get eaten and spoil. Waste and more work
to throw it out and clean the moldy mess. This way the soup stays good for a month or more. by sealing it in a hot jar you reduce the oxygen
in the space between the lid and the soup to very little and so the lid will suck down and keep a nice tight seal. |
I put a half a cup of water in a quart canning jar and heat it in the microwave to boiling. This heats the whole jar up. |
Ladel the hot soup into the jar. I get the soup to a boil. I made a funnel out of the top to an apple juice plastic container. |
Seal the jar with a new lid and tighten the ring well. Wait till it cools and you hear the lid pop, or you can see that the center is sucked in and you can't get the lid off with your fingers. |
Store in the fridge. NOT ON A SHELF AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
The soup will stay good for a long long time in the fridge. I am not sure how long but I have had it stay perfect for 2 months. We eat soup almost every day so it doesn't usually last that long. I just don't like to put soup in a container and go for it in a few days and it has mold growing on top or it tastes sour. I don't ever worry when I do it this way.
