Canning Soup

Before I begin this post, let me say -- the canning police say this is a no-no!  

 Anyway, my husband grew up eating home canned chicken and rice.  He's often asked me to make it for him to carry with him during the week, but I never had.  I really had no point of reference for it.  I finally ran into someone who canned it.   She gave me her directions, and I decided to try it.

 The ingredients are simple: Salt, pepper, broth (or water), cooked chicken, brown rice, carrot and celery

 My cost per jar was less than $1.00 and I can pronounce all the ingredients.   This is an experiment to see how the rice holds up.  The plan is to open 1 jar a week and see how it does as time progresses.
