PRESSURE COOKING SOUPS AND STOCKS
Make homemade soups the easy way in your canner. If you wish to prepare your family’s favorite soup, use the following recipes as
guides. Soup recipes are cooked at 15 pounds pressure. If adding dry beans and peas, they must first be soaked according to the directions
on page 28.
Do not pressure cook soups containing barley, rice, pasta, split peas, grains, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the time-
table on above, and dried soup mixes because they have a tendency to foam, froth, and sputter and could clog the vent pipe. Cooked
barley, rice, grains, pasta, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the timetable on above, and dried soup mixes should be added to
the soup after pressure cooking.
