Freezing Homemade Cream of Potato Soup

RE: Freezing Homemade Cream of Potato Soup By bedlamite23 (12) Profile Contact @ Debbie-Jenn : Water bath canning is only safe for acidic foods with pH < 4.6 (eg. peaches, apples, tomatoes + citric acid). For non-acidic foods, water bath canning does not get hot enough to prevent the growth of botulism. Use a pressure cooker to can non-acidic foods, it's the ONLY safe way!

Here is the basic recipe, a adjust to whatever I have on hand at the time, or whatever my tastes are for that day. 3-4 potatoes, diced (can peel if desired) diced onion (to taste) 1 can cream of soup (I have used chicken, celery, mushroom, all are good) 1 can chicken broth (can use water, just enough to cover potatoes) shredded carrots, optional evaporated milk (I didnt have any at time, so I mixed powdered milk, have also used 2% milk) salt and pepper to taste can add shredded cheddar cheese Cook potatoes, carrots and onion in broth (or water) till potatoes are mushy. Do not drain. Add remaining ingredients, and heat thru (do not boil), stirring occasionally, and if using cheese, heat till cheese melts. I also added cheese to bowls after putting soup into them. Very easy, tasty, and can be frugal. If you want it a thinner soup, add more milk.

I personally would can the potato soup in a water bath canner. It's not hard to do.

Frozen milk gets watery when it's defrosted, so you may have the same problem with the soup. Maybe you could add some half and half or cream when you reheat it to counteract that. Either way, it would still be edible. Posted on 04/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Freezing Homemade Cream of Potato Soup By MCW (1009) Profile Blog! Contact Yes, all kinds of soup can be frozen.
