Aw cummon, get real.
I do can a real soup about twice a year. Barley soak the night before, lentils go in with no pre soak. Can of tomato paste, parsley flakes and oregano, salt, pepper. Dice and saute an onion, and then any left over veg in the fridge goes thru the bender and into the pot. Cook for a few hours, add to jars, into the pressure canner. Usually make two runs of the cannner per batch so end up with 14 1l jars of soup/stew ready for the cold month weekend lunches.
