That said, after 20 years in the military, I've eaten a lot of Ramen/Cup O'Noodle, etcetera. Many of them use dehydrated vegetables, not a lot, but definitely dehydrated. They always tasted good.<br /><br />Regarding the egg post in my blog? I did indeed talk show it to the gentleman I bought it from. He'd never seen the like, either. He gave me two eggs to replace the one, when all I expected was a polite conversation on the strangeness of the egg. Many of my friends commented on it, and from what I can tell, it does happen occasionally and they all toss them.<br />Blessings. ♥LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-68352775832706270092014-11-17T19:08:19.323-06:002014-11-17T19:08:19.323-06:00Luv,

You could use a sealer, but I think they will be just fine unless you are storing them for 20 years. Just keep them in the dark. I can onions and celery to use in the winter. yeah, that "bog batch" would have confused me. lol.

I am not diabetic, but eat lots less salt than I would like to eat...lol.

Broth is usually homemade and skimmed of most fat. And for hubby I add corn and rice. I'm diabetic and do not eat pasta or rice. To add to hubby's soup I just zap the corn and rice (precooked & frozen) in the microwave, put in the bowl and add the rest of the soup. I rarely make soup with tomatoes because I just don't like it. Haven't had canned soup, because of the sodium, in probably 25 years. And yes, your soup looks like the Progresso soup ads.

There was so little pasta that I did not think it would be bad since my exbf who has diabetes would be expending lots of energy that day. Otherwise, I have never put pasta in a soup. This was all first for me. I need to get the seal for my canner replaced and can some soup. I absolute hate eating soup from a can because of the sodium, so canning my own soup would be best. Like you say, convenience foods. I would can in pints and quarts since a pint would be more than enough for me.
