Is it necessary to cook chicken first? I know that you can raw pack chicken to process so curious as to why you precook?

Can I use dried beans?

Is there a way to print recipes from here?

Possibly a dumb question, I have never canned before. How do you store canned items once they are done and how long are they good for?

Doubled this recipe and I got 16 qts! I edited a little bit.....instead of boiling the chicken I baked it with a little olive oil and paprika, salt, pepper over it, then I shredded it. I also added cilantro. Canned up really nicely!

This is EPIC, I made this last Thursday, had jars ready to go..got a call that my family was coming for a 4 day weekend so it never made the first jar..They loved it..served it with fresh lime pico de gallo..and tortillas..made a geat crowd pleaser dinner with not a drop left.I did use black beans as opposed to kidney beans and used an extra can of rotel,one hot one medium..very snappy..I hope the next round makes it into jars!! Bring on the canning recipes!!

I have made this recipe several times. I prefer black beans over kidney. I also add mexican oregano to mine. 1-2 tablespoons crushed. It turns out fantastic and looks beautiful in the jar.

First time canner. Do you cook all ingredients prior to canning or does the canning process cook the ingredients? thanks

I made this recipe and it was fabulous. I used black beans in place of the kidney beans. I am looking for more fantastic soups to can.

Thank you for this recipe! Love it! I used turkey instead of chicken. Made a big pot of stock from a turkey carcass and then used it as the base for this soup. I made mine a bit more chunky (extra cans of beans) and a bit spicier (extra can of RoTel, red pepper flakes) and my husband LOVED it. Doubled the recipe. Processing one batch tonight. Will bring back to a boil and process the second batch tomorrow. I'm always looking for new pressure canning recipes and this one is unique. Plus it enabled me to use up a turkey carcass! Win in!
