Canned soup with beef and vegetables

This soup can simply be reheated and consumed, as it is very filling and delicious. The vegetables are tender, the potatoes are creamy, and the meat easily falls apart with a fork. Don’t forget to sterilize the jars and lids before you start cooking.

You can sterilize them in the oven, boiling water, microwave, or multicooker.

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds of beef for stewing, cut into cubes
• 4 cups of beef broth
• 1 cup of chopped onion
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup of chopped celery
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 28 ounces of canned tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning or
• 1/2 teaspoon of crushed rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon of crushed rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground marjoram
• 1 cup of frozen peas, optional

Instructions

1. Prepare 6-7 pint jars, lids, and sealing rings. Sterilize the jars and keep them in hot water until you begin canning. Check that there is an adequate water level in the pressure cooker, indicated as “fill,” and that the water is boiling.
2. To start cooking, brown the meat over high heat in a stainless steel pot or an enameled Dutch oven, using a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Then add the remaining ingredients and cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Turn off the heat and start pouring the mixture into the jars.
3. Arrange the sterilized jars on a kitchen towel in a semicircle, leaving space for the pot. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat and vegetables into the jars, filling them halfway, then top up with broth, leaving about one inch of free space at the top. Start filling from one side of the semicircle and move to the other end. Remove any air bubbles and add more liquid if necessary. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean paper towel dampened with white vinegar to remove any food residue that could interfere with sealing. Using a special tool, retrieve the lids from the hot water and place them on the clean jar rims. Screw on the rings until snug.
