      Hi Beverly! Water bath canning is not recommended for vegetables, so I don’t have timings for doing so. To reach the proper temperature to kill bacteria in meats and vegetables, pressure canning is needed. Water bath canning can’t reach the correct levels. I hope that helps!

      Hi Lillian, chicken soup should be pressure canned only – so if you water bath canned, you’ll need to pressure can it to make sure it’s safe.

      Depending on your pressure cooker, you may also be able to can with it, but they don’t all do canning.

      Here’s my chicken soup recipe for canning so you can see exactly how to pressure can it!
