Canning Recipe for Delicious Black Bean Soup
This canning recipe for delicious black bean soup is a great way to prepare and have this yummy soup on your shelves to eat for any meal.
It makes a hearty soup that is wonderful on a cold winter day or any day. I enjoy taking my jars of ready to eat meals to work for lunch. Canning soup is one of the best things about learning how to can! I include my favorite soups that I can below.
Canning homemade soups saves money, but it is also healthier than buying canned soups from the grocery store, because you know what is going into your soup. No preservatives are added, you can add how much salt or no salt, plus you can season the soup to your preference.
Ingredients for Making the Delicious Black Bean Soup for Canning
- 3 cups dry black beans
- 4 cups beef broth
- Can of Rotel (I used a pint jar of my homemade canned Rotel)
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1 can green chilis
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp canning salt
Detailed Steps for Making Delicious Black Bean Soup for Canning
The first step is to rinse the dry beans.
Soak the dried beans over night. The next day, drain beans, rinse, and add the beans to a large pot, add fresh water and heat on medium-high heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Chop up the carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onion. I chopped some of the vegetables in a food processor to make the pieces smaller.
After the 30 minutes of simmering the beans, remove the water and then add the remaining ingredients to the pot of beans. This includes the beef broth, rotel, green chilis, cumin, salt, chopped carrots, celery, onion and bell pepper. Chicken broth or vegetable broth could be substituted.
Heat up the ingredients on medium heat and let simmer about 2 minutes. Add the solid portion to the canning jars with a slotted spoon. Fill with solids about 2/3 full.
Fill the rest of the jars with the hot liquid from the black bean soup mixture to 1-inch headspace.
Wipe top of the jar, remove the air bubbles, and place lids and screw bands on the jars.
Beans are low-acid foods and required to be canned using a pressure canning process. See my article on beginners guide to canning for a complete guide on canning.
Place the hot canning jars into the pressure canner and process according to your canner’s manufacturer’s instructions. Process pint jars for 75 minutes. This recipe can also be easily doubled for quarts and the processing time for quart jars is 90 minutes.
I use the NESCO Electric Pressure Canner. I have included step by step instructions on how to use the NESCO Electric Canner on my website.
When the canning process is complete and the canner has had time to depressurize, remove the hot jars with a jar lifter and place jars on a dish towel on the counter and do not disturb for 24 hours.
Enjoy the Delicious Results!
This homemade canned black bean soup has such great flavor! This is a great recipe for a homemade soup. Black bean soup can be served as a variety of options. You can remove some of the black beans and mash with a potato masher or immersion blender to add some creaminess to the soup. You can serve with tortilla chips, or cheddar cheese or sour cream.
Home food preservation with home canning is such a great way to save on the grocery store and have shelf stable and healthy meals and other food ready to eat in your pantry.
Homemade soups are one of my favorite things to eat and home-canned soups are one of my favorite things to can. Some of my soup canning recipes include:
- Beef Stew
- Ham and Bean Soup
- French Onion Soup
- Chicken Soup
- Corned Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes (although not an actual soup, can be eaten like one!)
I plan to post my recipe for canned black bean soup soon!
