"One day, we’re going to stand before the gates of Heaven. Some of us want to be able to walk up there in a white robe and we want to sing Abba Father and Amazing Grace and we want to say to the Lord, “I worshiped You.” But I want you to think about this: Heres the way I want to enter the gates of Heaven. I want to come skidding in there on all fours. I want to be slipping and sliding and I want to hit the gates of heaven with a bang. And when I stand up and I stand before Christ, I want there to be blood on my knees and my elbows. I want to be covered with mud. And I want to be standing there with a ragged breast plate of righteousness. And a spear in my hand. And I want to say, “Look at me, Jesus. I’ve been in the battle. I’ve been fighting for you.” Ladies and gentlemen, put your armor on and get into battle. God bless you." ~ General William G. Boykin, U.S. Army (ret.)

I make something called a Cuban Chicken soup which is basically the same recipe with potatoes and an additional seasoning. You can add whatever veggies you'd like and that won't be a problem at all!

Since I don't have canning equipment:
Plan A - Friend 1 has NO time right now.
Plan B - Friend 2 has pressure canner and has never used it. Invited me to come over and "we'll figure this thing out together". and it's likely going into bronchitis. Not available right now.
Plan C - If I get the energy levels up - I'll make Friend 2 this homemade chicken soup & take it to her. We'll taste test and make more later to pressure can.
You gotta work with what you have.

Yep, that's true MtRider...
If you're up to it, it might be a good bribe for her...make the soup to take over to her and then convince her how awesome it would be to home can it when she feels better! lol
That's why we're doing pressure canning things and water bath canning things. I water bath my stuff in one of my large stock pots, so no exceptionally special equipment needed there.
The nice thing about the chicken soup when I make it just to eat, and not home can, is once I skim all the scum off the top of the water after the chicken has simmered, I throw in a ton more veggies and cook that with the chicken than I do when I home can it...so maybe if you feel up to it, you can just throw everything in and then walk away while it simmers...
I hope your friend feels better soon.

Darlene- thanks, I think she's going to break down and go to doc tomorrow. Yeah, bribery is good!
I did an inventory. I have an old enamel kettle (holds 15+ qts of water). A 10 qt aluminum stock pot. A 15 qt steel with enamel stock pot. All with lids. One (or all?) of these has to work well for water bath. I have no racks or other paraphernalia yet. Like jar lifters, etc. Except jar funnels. Scored them at the last garage sale! 10 cents each. Have small assortment of canning jars and rings. Need new lids. (And I'll be waiting for a non-tomato based water bath recipe cuz we can't eat tomato... For that matter, dh canNOT eat chicken but I plan to sub in Cornish game hen. That doesn't bother him. )
Slowly, I'll get there. I'm enjoying seeing all this tho. Thanks for the tutorial!!!

1" head space.
90 minutes for quarts, 75 minutes for pints at your elevation level for pressure.

ok I got another question.
First time pressure canning jars. I processed the chicken according to the directions. Apparently 1 or all of the jars boiled over because I can see the chicken oil from the broth on the top of the water in the canner. Is this normal? Will it have an effect on the sealing of the jars?

I had a couple boil over too. One jar out of 38 didn't seal and one jar was only 1/2 full by the time it was done but it sealed, go figure. Hopefully yours will seal and you'll just have to clean them off.

You passed with flying colors and I'm very proud of the courage and work you've put into all this.
