    Great recipe, I used it last week. The photo shows the soup in preserve jars. I believe this recipe cannot be preserved this way. Freezing is recommended. See website for National Center for Home Preservation.

      Thanks for you comments Gerard. You are right, the jars were just for easy transport to work, not for preserving. If you’d like to save the soup for future, freeze the soup in a plastic yogurt type container.
