Minestrone Recipe

Kurt, I used a Minestrone Recipe from allrecipes.com. Here is a link... Here are some changes I made:

Omit - spinach, pasta (I wasn't sure how well those would process and didn't want to end up with mush).

Substituted - half/half mix of white and pinto cannery beans (that I had cooked in the crock pot overnight) instead of the canned beans.

Directions - Instead of following the recipe directions, I did the following: Saute onion, garlic until tender. Add turkey sausage and brown. Made a broth with the chicken stock, tomato paste and oregano. To fill the jars I layered beans, onion/garlic/sausage mixture, then the vegetables. I covered everything with the hot broth and processed.

Good luck!

Go Kirsten! The soup looks great. Two different kinds! Wow and produce from the garden. I'm still afraid of the pressure canner.
